<DeathStar> Stardate: Resuming After Last Ep
<DeathStar> Location: Grand Canyon
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiariums have just driven a black dagger into Billy's chest. Gasp.
* Marcus` has just gone wide eyes and screamed, "NO!"
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh my god!?"
* Kit is now known as Chii
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiariums turn to face the team now
<SPoC> <Dias> This definetly won't come out good.
<DeathStar> 6* Eight in all
* Xrileshr narrows his eyes at the situation, glancing to Cheryl " No time to destroy them all, we've got to rescue the child before it suffers brain damage.. "
* Chii throws her hand out, sending a line of wire laced with shurikens for the closest Ridarium.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She dashes in with her whip
<Marcus`> * Theron arches a brow and raises up his rifle, sliding a grenade into his launcher and he moves to the right.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium grabs the line
* Chii holds one hand up. 1"Raiton." 6Fries the line with electricity.
<SPoC> <Dias> If they wanted to kill her, they would've done it back at Cass's mansion.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium stares at the line electrifying.
* Myria creeps around along the edge of the forming battle.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes and begins to run forward, his body twisting and jerking while he begins to shift.
* SPoC shifts her aim, looking for a clear shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flips up, landing on a Ridiarium's shoulder. She proceeds to drive her whip into it's eye
* Chii twitches angrily, then grips the line herself with the other hand and concentrates spiritual energy, lining it with plasma, then giving it a good yank.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium gives Chii a better yank
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes his weapon, firing at the eyes of the Ridarium to the left.
* SPoC aims for the farthest to the outside and fires a grenade for it's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches for now
<Marcus`> * Theron kneels and launches a grenade for the left leg joint of the ridarium that Chii is dealing with.
* Sally`Wolf fires on Paladin's Ridarium, aimihng for the head with her large cannon.
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches into his pockets and pulls out too smiley faced balls and dashes in at a Ridarium
* Myria continues to circle around, dashing in when the Ridarium's look like they are all busy trying to kill the rest of the team.
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade by SPoC knocks it around. The one Theron hits lets go of Chii's line
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips on her Ridiarium, riding it like a branco
<DeathStar> 6* Sally knocks back a Rid
* Chii retracts the line and pulls out her blades instead, redirecting her energy as she lands and coils, leaping up immediately to strike at the hand and elbow joints that yanked her toward it.
* SPoC reloads the grenade launcher and swings it over her her shoulder, pulling her rifle up. She takes aim, firing one shot for an eye of a rid.
* Xrileshr pauses, momentarily, the distraction beind laid down already, he dashes forward, bounding off of the canyon's stones in the area as he ignores the ridariums, treating them like natural rocks, heading for Billy
<DeathStar> 6* The Rid blocks SPoC's shot
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium swings it's fist at Chii to stop her
* Sally`Wolf pulls out her other rifle in her other hand, she aims at a Ridarium with the cannon and fires, sending an anticapting second shot at the Ridarum's eye with her rifle.
* Marcus` comes running in for the leftmost ridarium, he leaps forward, the legs of his wolf form giving him an extra umph, and pull his stubbed arm back, he slams his forward, and while doing this the hand manifestation from before returns in the shape of a werewolve's claw. Marcus aims for the eyes with his attack.
* Chii shifts quickly to the side and savagely drops both of her plasma blades down onto the wrist. 1"Just a kid, you fucks!"
* Myria tries pulling Billy away while the Ridariums are all distracted.
* SPoC shifts her aim and fires at a different ridariums eye.
<DeathStar> 6* a Ridarium turns toward Myria
<SPoC> 6Dias comes in close for a Ridarium
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium shakes the stabbed hand
<Myria> Ummmm...oops? *picks up Billy, using TK to bump her stregth and then starts running* RUN AWAY!
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium blocks Marcus
* Xrileshr leaps upon the ridarium's back who is facing Maya, gripping a grenade pin with his teeth as he yanks, attempting to jam it in it's eye socket
* Chii rips the two blades out, grinding her teeth as she begins to focus on channeling Asmodeus. Not that anyone likely remembers why, but the current event's struck a chord.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium tries to rip out the grenade
<Marcus`> * Theron loads up another grenade and fires for the back leg of the Rid that Xril is fighting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is finally thrown off after she toppled a Ridiarium
<DeathStar> 6* The Rid is hit, and stops from pulling it out
* Sally`Wolf moves on to a new Ridarium, continuing her two shot pattern.
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium's hand reaches up from the ground and grabs Sally's leg
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps onto the back of a Ridarium, grabbing onto some of it's rockiness
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium falls backwards once Dias does this
<SPoC> 6Dias kicks off, landing on his back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium hits the ground, then shifts it's body using the ground particles to rise up standing again
* Marcus` kicks forward with his clawed feets and flips back, landing on all fours, he digs into the ground and dashes in again, jumping into the air, shifting to slams both clawed hands down to the Rid's shoulder once he soars over the head.
<SPoC> 6Dias gets back onto his feet and crouches.
* Xrileshr leaps to the side of the Rid, aiming his rifle, he fires a blast at the grenade, attempting to detonate it before the Rid pulls the grenade from the socket
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off and the Ridiarium falls
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet.
<Myria> Did I lose them?! *looks back*
<DeathStar> 6* No Ridiarium behind Myria
* Chii closes back within short range with the semi-wounded Ridarium once she's channeling and begins a series of feint attacks, always aiming for joints and cracks-- but never for anything that would be considered lethal.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium attempts to block the feintsw
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium throws a boulder at Dias
* Sally`Wolf blasts her cannon down into the Ridarium's arm and leaps back.
<DeathStar> 6* The arm holds on steady, so Sally falls flat on her arm
<Myria> I lost them! Now that I've rescued Billy...I...uh...have totally no idea what to do.
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium rises up from the ground and reaches at Myria
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls to the side and kicks off, dashing in at the ridarium.
* Chii tends to strike with one blade, leaving the second open to strike from a second angle, always hitting and running, dashing around it in a strafe to find more openings.
* Sally`Wolf grumbles and looks for the Ridarium's head, firing a rifle shot at it's eye.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no head.
<DeathStar> 6* The arm begins to break her leg.
* Xrileshr flips, landing against the ground grinning, he scans the area for Myria, eyeing the Ridiarium approaching her. He fires his rifle at it's eye, the only weakness these things seem to have
<Myria> RUN AWAY! *starts running again*
* Marcus` attempts to grasp the arms of the Ridarium with his normal hand, and jerks, trying to to send his 'special' hand in for it's right eye socket.
* SPoC grabs her grenade launcher and aims it at the ridarium going for Myria and fires at it
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is eye-fucked. Or something.
* Sally`Wolf curses inwardly and cries out in pain, firing rapidly at it's arm, tryingt o break free.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is hit by Marcus, roaring
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the Ridarium fighting Dias throws a punch.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium fighting Chii raises it's arms in the air to smash down
<DeathStar> 6* The arm lets Sally go and goes back into the ground
* Xrileshr dashes towards Myria, slinging his rifle over his shoulder as he does, attempting to close the distance between her and billy with his long legs
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts to the side and leaps up, his hands head infront of him and open.
* Chii suddenly stops and hurtles her left arm forward, throwing the blade in a tight and precise shot for one of the eyes, leaping inward herself.
* Sally`Wolf crawls back and pulls herself up with her rifle, staying loosely off her bad leg. Charging her cannon.
* Marcus` attempts to plant his clawed feet into it's side, then shifts in and effort to the normal clawed hand in the other eye socket. If that succeeds he would then pull his hands in both directions with all his might.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii hits the Ridiarium and it falls back
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium that Xril shot, reaches into the ground, and a hand rises in front of Xril, trying to snatch him
* Chii leaps upon it, stabbing for the other eye, then yanks both out and does a flip backwards, scissoring the plasma blades for near its formed neck.
* Sally`Wolf takes aim at Xril's Rid and fires at it's head with her charged cannon.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium eyes Marcus tugging on his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium pulls it's arm back, eyeing Dias
<DeathStar> 6* It's hit in the head and the arm retracts
<DeathStar> *From getting Xril
* Marcus` stosp tugging and peers. "...." He bites on the head once, much like an animal would do to test the durability of something.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii meanwhile pokes another eye, but her plasma blades to not take off it's neck
* Xrileshr dives, sliding to the side of retreating Rid's hand, he rolls, not missing a beat as he continues gaining on Myria and the child
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus eyes Marcus biting it. It attempts to grab him and throw him like a dog.
<SPoC> 6Dias snaps his left forward, slamming one of his smiley face balls to jam it in it's neck, his other hand snapping out jam one on it's eye socket
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium tries to snag Dias before he can bounce off
* Marcus` is thrown and tumbles along the ground for a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* The RIdiarium Sal shot turns toward her, then melts into the ground
* Chii lands before its feet, sheathing one blade and holding up a hand, forming a fireball above it a bit larger than normal. 1"Katon." 6She brings her hand down, aiming for the head.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is hit in the head by Chii. It crumbles to dust
<Marcus`> * Theron releases another grenade towards the leg joint of the one attacking Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* The RIdiarium rises behind SAlly, trying to grab her in a death hug
* Sally`Wolf grins a little and starts moving forwards, she tosses a mine at the spot she was standing at.
<SPoC> 6Dias twists, snapping his right hand around, Dark Energy seeping off it. 1"FLEEING PUNCH!" 6He punches it, releasing a Dark Beam out into the Rid's grabbing hand. 2%
* Chii turns her head and scopes, making a mad dash for the next closest Ridarium with a maniacal grin.
<DeathStar> 6* It lets Dias go, since it got hit by him and Theron
* Xrileshr suddenly grabs Myria from behind, lifting her off of her feet as she carries the child "Now lets get the hell out of here." He continues dashing for the ship
* Sally`Wolf leaps forward and away from the Ridarium and hits a switch on her belt, letting the mine go off.
<SPoC> 6Dias lands and kicks away, tucking as he rolls
<DeathStar> 6* The mine goes off. No RIdiarium remains standing once the smoke clears
* Myria 's legs continue to work at the air as she is carried.
* Chii actually looks annoyed at that fact, kneeling to punch the ground. 1"Grrgh..."
* Sally`Wolf doesn't stop moving, she charges her cannon as she looks for a target, keeping mobile.
* Marcus` lifts himself up, eyeing the Rid that he was fighting, wondering if he at least blinded it.
<DeathStar> 6* The explosions knock back Dias' Rid
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium Marcus fought seems to be moving toward Marcus, as if sensing him, even if it is blind
* Chii turns toward the one with Marcus and smiles again, bringing to her feet and beginning a lazy trot, then runs for it.
<SPoC> 6Dias plants his hand and twists, sliding backwards now, so he's facing the rid he just attacked
* Marcus` sniffs himself and makes a face. He jerks forward to dash right for the Rid.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps on Marcus' Ridiarium, wrapping her whip around it's throat. It begins to swing itselfa round
* Xrileshr leaps forward onto the ramp, heading inside " We've got the child. Someone tell these fools to stop playing with the Ridarium, lets go. "
<DeathStar> 6* Hands grab Sally's legs again
* Xrileshr says this towards the cockpit area, hoping someone is onboard
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium rises up into the air, holding Sally above it
<DeathStar> 6* A squirrel looks at Xril, tilting it's head
* Sally`Wolf aims her gun down adn fires her cannont down at the Rid's head.
* SPoC reloads her grenade launcher and turns, firing the shell into the back of the Rid holding Sally's knee caps
<Xrileshr> .. excellent. *He eyes Myria* Can you fly a human vessel?
<DeathStar> 6* It's hit. But it swings her into the ground, hoping to smash her. Sadly, it's shot, so it falls with her, probably on her
* Sally`Wolf groans and rolls out from under it as it drops.
<DeathStar> 6* It holds onto Sally. Stubbornly.
* Marcus` leaps forward, pulling his dark hand back, he sees that Cheryl has it preoccupied and throws the hand forward, using 1% energy for the punch toward's the face.
* Sally`Wolf fires a quickly charged shot from her rifle at it's arm joint.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is barely phased by a mere 1%
* Chii jerks around at the sound of the new Ridarium holding Sally. She pauses, surprised, then smiles. She runs up, from the front, sheathing the other blade and holding one hand up. 1"Hyoton." 6She forms cooled air, pushing it toward the Ridarium's chest, then less than a moment later, drags her other hand forward and slams her palm into it, expelling a small dark aura while it's falling.
* Xrileshr sits them both down in the co-pilots seat. Taking the pilots seat himself, he looks over the controls, trying to grasp them.
<Myria> Ummm...fly? Yes.
<Xrileshr> Then do so. Tell me how to activate the weapons systems, so we can provide some air support.
* Myria reaches over to the console and turn on the shuttles weapon systems.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium lets SAlly go, holding her boot
<DeathStar> 6* It turns to face chii, pissed
* SPoC looks around, to see how many Ridariums are alive.
* Marcus` falls back from the hit and makes a face, which might look odd for a wolf.
<DeathStar> 6* Two.
* Sally`Wolf rises up, barefoot on one leg, and starts charging both of her guns.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tightens her whip
* Chii backs up only slightly, hopping from foot to foot, giggling. She flickers her fingers back and forth, weaving tiny strands of black.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and stats sprinting towards the one Marcus and Cheryl are working on.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium flickers it's fingers, sending pebbles at Chii
<Myria> There you go!
* Xrileshr nods, the shuttle lifting into the air as he locks onto Chii's ridarium, firing a barage from it's main cannons
<Marcus`> This is going to hurt. *he says in a gargled grumble, thenjumps and attempts to lift up and slam down a 3% charged fist to slam straight for the Rid's head.*
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's Ridiarium explodes, the shockwave hitting Chii and Sal painfully
* Chii swipes her hands upward, trailing blackness behind her nails, cutting at the pebbles, then backflips, snarling at the shuttle fire interrupting and inconveniencing her with. Well, massive amounts of heat burning away some of her clothing as she twists to remain standing even after being struck by some of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Chii can't stand after that
<Myria> Ummm...that wasn't a bright idea.
* Sally`Wolf rolls from the explosion, grunting in pain as she comes to a stop, slowly dragging herself up, the tact suit under her armor bracing broken bones in palce for now.
* Chii claws at the ground to slow herself at least, scrambling to get back up.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus' fist hits the Ridarium, making a crack sound. It begins to fall backwards
<Xrileshr> It cant be helped. *he locks onto Marcus's Ridarium, nodding in aproval as it falls before he fires
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and the Ridarium go boom from the shot
<Xrileshr> Alright, bring us in, lets pick them up and leave this wretched place..
<SPoC> <Dias> CHERYL!
* Sally`Wolf looks at her busted rifle and tosses it aside, she straps her cannon over her back and pulls out another toy, her rail gun.
* Chii lifts herself up in an eery, somewhat broken but uncaring method. As she eyes the next Ridarium being taken out, she looks toward the shuttle darkly.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns toward their ship, looking pissed
<SPoC> 6Dias makes a mad dash for the explosion
<Myria> I think you are gonna get raped. *nod nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs in relief. "That's all of them?"
* Sally`Wolf moves towards the shuttle, grunting in pain while she keeps the rail gun ready.
* Marcus` glances around slowly, he glances to Cheryl, making sure the Rid didn't like fall on her or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to stand.
<SPoC> 6Dias slides to a stop. 1"You ok?"
* Xrileshr stands at the shuttle's ramp " Is everyone functional? "
* Chii runs for the shuttle-- her intentions probably not all that unclear since she's focused on Xrileshr
* SPoC looks over at the Xril. 1"You actions have caused collateral damage."
* Myria puts Xril down for replacement everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dusts herself off. Apparantly she's fine
<SPoC> 6Dias lets out a sigh of relief.
* Marcus` shifts back to his normal human state and glances at his hand as the energy fades away. "Thanks, Cheryl."
<Marcus`> * Theron peers about, holding his rifle ready.
* Myria goes to lay Billy down and then scans the dagger.
* Xrileshr chuckles to SPoC " If was necessary. If we had wasted anymore time the child would be terminal. You can repromand me later, lets get to a medical center. Now. "
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to check on Billy
<Xrileshr> *It was
* Sally`Wolf looks over at Cheryl, then at SPoC, then finally at Xril.
<Sally`Wolf> "What collateral damage?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... she's dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina notes, looking at Billy with a frown
* Marcus` moves over to the shuttle. His eyes widen when he steps up behind Katrina. "...you're kidding. Don't joke like that Kat."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods and moves over to check on the child.
<SPoC> He fires a shot where the shockwave hit you and Chii, damaging you both.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why would I joke like that?!
<Sally`Wolf> "That was him?"
<SPoC> <Dias> It's gotta be some kind of ritualistic Dark thing.
<Marcus`> * Theron steps onto the ramp and frowns.
<SPoC> <SPoC> Do you see any other shuttles capable of such damage?
* Sally`Wolf blinks and looks at Xril a moment. "Eh, I'll live. Puts him on par with Chii."
* Chii closes the distance between her and Xril abnormally deft, going from low to the ground to twisting upward, sending her palm up in a momentum-fueld rising strike.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's hand
<Myria> Quiet! No more blame game! Billy is...is...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Down.
* Marcus` opens a mouth and closes it, he closes his eyes and shifts slightly to lean on something.
* Sally`Wolf looks over, "The kid's dead?"
<SPoC> Collateral damage is not exceptable Sally Wolf.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes through and eyes the dagger.
* Chii turns to Cheryl, her feral eyes widening. Shadows flicker along her arm that was poised to strike-- her breath gives a bit of a hiss instead of words.
* Xrileshr eyes Chii, he dodges, diving back into the shuttle, narrowly missing her palm strike. his eyes narrowing " Dont TEST me. You seem to be perfectly healthy, be THANKFUL for that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists, causing pain in her wrist. "Down."
<SPoC> <Dias> It's because she's immortal. 6He leans forward, sniffing the dagger
* Chii shifts her gaze back to Xrileshr, only wincing a bit as her body cranes to Cheryl's influence.
<Sally`Wolf> "Then punish him as hard as you'd punish Chii." *coughs a bit, eyeing blood a bit annoyedly*
<Marcus`> * Theron peers at the odd Tsiv dodging an attack the Cheryl had otherwise deflected.
<SPoC> <Dias> This puppys putting off dark energy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls Chii toward her, gripping her with one arm around the chest.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ever seen anything like it before?
* Marcus` opens his eyes. "What?" He shifts around Kat to step forward and kneels, peering at the dagger.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<SPoC> That is the Generals decision.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm going to touch it.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Is that wise?
* Xrileshr looks back to Billy " From what I understand of human anatomy, her heart is punctured. Her brain is currently suffering from lack of oxygen, if you would ALL JUST QUIT YOUR BICKERING AND GET US OUT OF HERE- MAYBE we can save her before her brain shuts down COMPLETELY!" he growls angrily at the team,
<Marcus`> Someone shut him up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings a finger up to her lips at Xril.
<SPoC> <Dias> is it ever wise? 6He reaches out and grabs the daggers handle.
<DeathStar> 6* The handle is grabbed
<Sally`Wolf> "Xil, chill a moment."
<Xrileshr> .... Then let her die. *He turns, heading towards the back of the shuttle quietly
<Marcus`> No wai-*he pauses when Dias grabs it and leans back slightly, tilting his head*
<Myria> My question is...what was the purpose of this...?
<Marcus`> * Theron leans in to whisper to Myria. "Does he not understand Basic? We have already determined her death to be so."
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok...So any objections to me removing it?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Do you think it's wise?
<SPoC> <Dias> You're asking the wrong guy.
* Chii shakes her head, snarling. The aura she formed from integrating Asmodeus dies down. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps holding Chii against herself for now
<Sally`Wolf> "If she's dead, it's nto like it can get any worse for her."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> My concern is the rest of us
* Marcus` frowns. "It could have sucked out her soul." He notes after a moment of thought.
* Myria shrugs to Theron.
<Marcus`> * Theron accepts that and leans back, staring at the scene.
<Sally`Wolf> "Wanna get her somewhere safe then?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Huh...I think it's flowing energy into her.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Might be dangerous to leave the canyon with the enemy ship in the sky.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Into her? But it killed her.
<SPoC> <Dias> Do you remember when we first met Billy?
<Myria> They may be trying to turn her back into a Dark One...
<Marcus`> Into her? *he arches a brow* Maybe the energy overloaded her, then?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um. Not really. Refresh me.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well she was a Dark One, etc etc. Had Dark One powers than lost them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I remember her losing them.
<Chii> <Chii> ... You piece of shit." 6Raises her head slightly, her hair that's been growing longer obscuring one eye, but at least the other seems normal for the moment; she sullenly glares after where Xrileshr departed.
<SPoC> <Dias> Maybe they're trying to give her powers back, but worse.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's insulting to me.
* Chii shakes her head a bit, then gazes over a shoulder at Cheryl, culled again. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Worse how?
<Marcus`> It was mentioned they met an older Billy in the future, that was crazy strong. Maybe this is how she was created?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Calling me a piece of shit.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I thought you guys went to an alternate timeline that formed because you all lost to the Dark Ones in that alternate galaxy
<SPoC> <Dias> But I have a feeling if we pull it out now, she'll die for sure.
<Chii> ...I wasn't talking to you. That bastard... Though I can't remember why I was mad, now.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Or we leave it in her and she gets more...dark oned.
* Xrileshr sits at the back of the shuttle. As if on que he looks up, meeting Chii's gaze
<Marcus`> Right. So...we let her die and Cass kills us. We let her live and she kills uh, other people.
<SPoC> 6Dias places his other hand on her chest.
* Chii studies Xrileshr like a bug now, having lost the feral touch she had a moment ago. Her white tail gives a lash, her head tilting curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets her go, and grabs the tail, holding that now
<Chii> /me squeaks a bit and jerks, eyeing Cheryl.
<Chii> H-hey!
<Myria> And I still haven't gotten an Anti-Dark One weapon that is fuly effective...
<Marcus`> I'd rather her not die. That's my vote. She doesn't deserve this.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii
* Sally`Wolf sits back and closes her eyes, in pain, annoyed, and tired.
<SPoC> 6Dias slides his hand upto her throat, feeling for a pulse
<DeathStar> 6* None.
* Chii squirms and shifts her knees a bit. 1"...Let go.."
* Xrileshr eyes Chii, studying her like a bug aswell. He notes the interactions between she and Cheryl, curiously, somewhat confused by human interaction
<Myria> Of course, in theory, that alternate reality probably developed along a timeline where Billy was never rescued to begin with.
<SPoC> 6Dias keeps his one hand on the dagger and the other hand on her neck, waiting. 1"Look, I'm not any good at this stuff."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, I'm with Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin frowns. "We should probably pull it out."
<Marcus`> Is that an order? *he glances up at Paladin*
* Chii flicks and ear, reaching up to rub its pointed end. 1"That jerk's a Tsivrixsh, isn't he? What's he doing here, again?"
<DeathStar> <PAladin> Do it.
<Myria> What medical supplies do we have on board?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods to Dias
<SPoC> 6Dias takes a deep breath and slowly starts to pull the dagger out, his face grimacing.
<DeathStar> 6* The dagger makes a sickening sound as it slides out
<Sally`Wolf> "Standard kit? I've got some medical stims."
* Marcus` tenses, not breathing while the pulling stuff goes on.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Standard medical kits.
<Chii> 6Paladin receives a comm hail.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin ignores it for now. He's focused on Billy
<SPoC> 6Dias pulls the dagger out fully now, his hand still feeling for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Myria> We could try some field surgery until we can get to an emergency room.
<Myria> That's assuming we can get her heart beating again, of course.
<DeathStar> 6* The wound heals after Dias removes it, and Billy suddenly jerks up, making a gasping sound
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks.
* Marcus` lets out a breath. "B-Billy!?"
<Myria> EEEEEEE!
<Sally`Wolf> "Zombie??"
<SPoC> 6Dias jumps slightly. 1"Billy?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs her chest. "You're a fucking zombie, bitch."
<Myria> John was right about the zombies!
* Chii jerks her head away from Xril and gazes toward Billy, blinking. 1"...That's... not possible."
<SPoC> <Dias> BILLY! 6He grabs her in a hug
<Sally`Wolf> "Nah whelp, I'm alive."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes a face as she's hugged.
<Marcus`> Oh dude, you know Billy doesn't like hugs.
<DeathStar> 6* She then pauses. "Uh oh."
<Marcus`> Uh...oh?
<SPoC> 6Dias stands there, hugging her. 1"No uh oh."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Define 'uh oh'.
<Myria> Uhhh?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Uh. I think we're in trouble. 6* She holds her chest. "I can feel the Dark One network again."
* Chii squints, trying to read Billy's obscure aura.
<SPoC> <Dias> How do we break it?
* Xrileshr watches the situation silently
<DeathStar> <Billy> We can't. And, uh, they're putting a lot of energy into me. Like. Nuclear explosion amount.
<SPoC> <Dias> Shoot it out!
* Marcus` arches a brow. "How the..wait, you're going to explode?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I CAN'T DUMBFACE
<SPoC> <Dias> How the hell can't you?!
<Chii> I could eat it.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs, holding his face.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes. Eat it. Do that.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rolls her eyes
<SPoC> <Dias> Just point into the sky and go like. Evil Boom attack or something.
<DeathStar> <Billy> The headlines will read, "Fox splatters teammates with her innards"
<Sally`Wolf> "Cut yourself off the networl?"
<Chii> I didn't say all at once.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs her face. "Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that one, Zombie."
<Marcus`> ....anything we can do, Billy?
* Chii rolls her eyes. 1"I don't have a soul, where do you think I get spiritual energy as is?"
<Xrileshr> She appearantly can survive a knifing. Why not put the knife back into her untill we can controll the fluxuating energy of the dark ones? * He suggests from the back
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands up. "How much energy we're talking about?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Look, Chii. We're talking enough energy to blow up Earth. Can you eat THAT?
<Chii> I don't know.
* Chii shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Billy> She don't know
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs and yanks Chii's tail
* Chii looks away sheepishly, rubbing her cheek.
<SPoC> 6Dias lets Billy go. 1"Give us options."
* Chii squeals loudly, then scowls at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Options! I'm a 5 year old. You're the heroes. Goddammit.
<SPoC> <Dias> You know more about evil dark ones than I do.
<Marcus`> Someone can fly her into space with this shuttle. It's not very heroic, though.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Tch. Fine. Take off my head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Marcus, horrified.
* Sally`Wolf eyes Billy, considering the head option heavily.
<SPoC> <Dias> Wait...Can I absorb the enegy?
<DeathStar> <Billy> No.
* Xrileshr approaches the team surrounding Billy " Billy, that is your name right? Could the dark ones invest energy into you while you were dead? "
<Marcus`> I didn't say it was a good idea. Sheesh.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes him. "The knife won't kill me. Killing me is the only way to stop the flow."
<Chii> What might we find if we looked into your heartrealm?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Chii, then tries to smack he
<DeathStar> r
* Chii blinks, leaning back.
* Marcus` attempts to catch Billy.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm not saying absorb it all. What if I take it and fire it off into the sky?
<DeathStar> <Billy> You can't. Dias. You can't.
<DeathStar> <Billy> This energy would just vape you
<Chii> You'd accelerate your corruption to the point of an acidic-like corrosive, probably.
<SPoC> <Dias> Who fucking cares.
<Xrileshr> If she's destined to be a time bomb, then can we atleast derive an estimate?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Killing her might be the only option before us
<SPoC> <Dias> Two of us. Marcus and Me. What if we both did it?
<Chii> I'm not killing a kid.
* Marcus` makes a face. "Jesus fucking christ. I'm not going to let Billy die."
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"Fuck that."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then we'd have a double funeral
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could do it painlessly... 6* She notes
<SPoC> <Dias> Can't you send it back?
* Chii stomps at Cheryl's foot.
<Sally`Wolf> "Well, whatever the answer is, keeping a world destroying explosion kid on Earth is probably the unwisest course of action."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face.
* Myria sniffles.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah. That didn't cross my mind either
* Xrileshr turns to Paladin "General.." he says " May I speak to you in private? "
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh har har.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Xril. "If you have something to say, say it in front of the team."
* Marcus` sighs. "...fuck. Fuck." He mumbles, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands up, dusting her black dress off
* Xrileshr crosses his arms " Very well. The options presented dictate the child will die either way. If she is going to go out with a bang, might we atleast put it to good use? We could unlease the child on our enemies. "
<DeathStar> <Billy> God, I'm pissed. I'm missing my stock exchanges.
<SPoC> <Dias> Come on Billy. You always have ideas. You gotta have some diabolical plan to save yourself.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She glances to the side
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Plausible, but that's a last resort.
<SPoC> 6Dias points at her. 1"YOU DO HAVE ONE!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, I could kill you all as a sacrifice to the Dark Ones and they might let me go
<Chii> Of course she does. She's an evil mastermind.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them all
<Chii> Point proven.
<SPoC> 6Dias face faults. 1"Oh that's cold."
<Marcus`> What about just one of us?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah. They wouldn't be blowing up a planet if they wanted just one.
<Chii> But she's an innocent little one, so she hasn't considered that as her main option.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Chii darkly. "You're puttin' it on the top of my list."
<Sally`Wolf> "Innocent?"
* Chii smiles at Billy charmingly. 1"Just like I remember."
<Chii> So cute.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes a face.
* Marcus` rubs his face. "Ohhhh god. If ever a time that I needed a working brain, it would be now."
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his face furiously.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fine. Lets start with the fox demon
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls out a knife
* Sally`Wolf sits back.
<Marcus`> No, Billy.
* Xrileshr aims his rifle at Billy, unsure if the child is joking
<Chii> If you kill me then I can't be manipulated into countless other schemes you brew.
<DeathStar> <Billy> But---
<Marcus`> Chii's not worth, she don't even have a soul.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sighs and tosses the knife over her shoulder, at the Tsiv
<SPoC> <Dias> How's this network thing work?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Uh. It's like a computer network?
* Xrileshr bats it to the side with the butt of the gun
<Marcus`> Well Dias is lost.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok. And how did you break it last time?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Uh, you guys beat the shit out of me and I lost all my powers when they cut me off?
<SPoC> <Dias> What if we killed you, would they cut you back off?
<DeathStar> <Billy> T-tch. Ye-Yeah.
<Sally`Wolf> "So wait, we beat the shit out of her?"
<SPoC> <Dias> That's it. We kill her, than revive her.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, I love you, Dias! My hero!
<Marcus`> That's pretty risky.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy swoons, then stomps his foot
<SPoC> 6Dias howls in pain, hopping around
<Sally`Wolf> "I like this plan."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You would, Zombie.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin rubs his face.
<Sally`Wolf> "I would, brat."
* Xrileshr eyes the humans like a circus
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Perhaps we should talk to Cassandra and Setsuna firstr.
<SPoC> 6Dias rubs his foot. 1"Is there anyway to crash this network thing?
<DeathStar> <Billy> No.
<Marcus`> Last time she used all of her powers to do...damn it's been awhile.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks at Marcus than at Billy. 1"Do you have your powers back?"
<Xrileshr> Is there anyway to determine the means by which the dark ones are transfering energy? If we can get her to a research facility before she goes off, we might be able to reroute the power.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to the front of the shuttle. "Lets get back to Tokyo and decide there."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up her hand, forming a dark matter abll
<SPoC> <Dias> What if you used it? Does what they feed you get weaker?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Please don't do that in here.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah. You want me to use an attack that can blow up the planet to get weaker?
<Sally`Wolf> "...You trying to waste some of that energy?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Why not shoot it into space?
<Xrileshr> An enemy planet would be preferable.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Because I can't access it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> They're just going to fill me up faster than I could spit it out
<SPoC> <Dias> Those bastards.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes the controls, moving them up into space.
<Marcus`> They have unlimited amounts of energy they can use, man. She would have to be firing off beams 24/7 to keep from Exploding.
<DeathStar> *above grad canyon
<DeathStar> <Billy> And they say you're dumb.
<SPoC> <Dias> So fires off beams 24/7.
<DeathStar> <Billy> OH, yeah, that's plausible.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You gonna hold me up as I sleep and feed me, and help me pee?
<Marcus`> I will, darlin. *he pats her head*
<SPoC> <Dias> Not the pee part, no.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then no dea
<DeathStar> *deal
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle shudders from some impact
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh what now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks around. "Wha?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Ridarium ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, sneering. "Damn them.:
<SPoC> <Dias> Wanna blow them up? 6He wiggles his eye brows at her,.
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts to move to the cockpit area.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I do.
* Xrileshr falls to the side, widening his stance to brace himself. " Relentless, as expected. "
<Marcus`> I think he's talking to Billy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Dias. "What's your plan? To THROW me at them?
<SPoC> <Dias> Well...
<Marcus`> Sorry Cheryl. *he reaches out to pat her head, but pauses, smiling* Kidding.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Bastard!
<Xrileshr> At the very least, tou could throw some dark matter balls at approaching Ridarium ship.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I refuse todo your dirty work!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy crosses her arms.
<SPoC> <Dias> Just fire a big beam at them from the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Nope.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll buy you cookies.
<DeathStar> <Billy> How many?
<SPoC> <Dias> How many will it take?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her temples at this child
<DeathStar> <Billy> 666.
<SPoC> <Dias> Done deal.
<SPoC> 6He holds his hand out to shake on it
* Marcus` laughs.
<Myria> *whisper* Theron, she's a tough negotiator. She's knocking him up for cookies now. That's serious hardball.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shakes it. "Now lower the ramp."
<SPoC> 6Dias moves to the back and lowers the ramp
<Marcus`> * Theron snucks off to be with Paladin. HAR HAR!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin attempts to dodge attacks, but he's no Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leans out, the wind blowing by rapidly. She holds her dress down
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs her shoulder so she doesn't go flying out
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up her hands. "Kiama?"
<SPoC> <Dias> More pizazz.
* Myria stands next to the cockpit door so she can still offer her charming repartee to Theron.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *sigh and stomps Dias' foot* KIAMA!"
<SPoC> 6Dias howls in pain again
<DeathStar> 6* She unleashes a huge beam at the Ridiarium ship, being thrown back
<DeathStar> <Billy> Aieee!
* Xrileshr catches Billy
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches her go.
* Xrileshr sets her down " Excellent. "
<SPoC> 6Dias goes tumbling back from Billy hitting him.
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and glances over his shoulder. "I would not know. I do not negotiate."
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the Ridiarium ship, and it suddenly begins to flicker.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's..different...
* Xrileshr catches Dias then?
* Chii peers around Cheryl. 1"What's going on?
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium ship begins to grow long, black tendrils, turning into a Dark One ship, but with rock parts to it still
* Marcus` arches a brow. "...that's weird, is what it is."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh. Oh hell no.
<DeathStar> <Billy> They drained my energy!
<Chii> Fuck.
<SPoC> 6Dias shakes his head. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> They used my energy to boost their ship!
* Marcus` arches a brow. "So you're not going to explode?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Shit...I'll fly. 6He turns, dashing to the cockpit.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, I still am. I'm talking about that beam
<DeathStar> <Billy> Just picture this. When I explode, it'll probably absorb more power, and become super big
* Marcus` sighs. "That's cheating."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, that's what evil does.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves her hand cutely
<Marcus`> Well it's fucking lame.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the ship. "Dammit."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You're fucking lame, wolfie
* Sally`Wolf rubs her face with a gloved hand. "Anyone have a vicodin?"
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes past Myria. 1"I'll fly Paladin."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms. "What can we do now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods, getting up.
<Marcus`> Oh don't start with me little girl. *he holds up his fist*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs. "Gear form it is, then."
<SPoC> 6Dias takes the pilots seat.
* SPoC is now known as Dias`
<DeathStar> 6* Billy holds up her fist, forming a dark sword form her wrist
<DeathStar> <Billy> Wanna go a round?
* Chii eyes Cheryl. 1"You want to go toe to toe with that... thing?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
* Marcus` pauses and holds up his stubby arm. "You would attack a handicap person?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'll make you pleasantly even
* Chii rubs her head. 1"Man, I don't mind aside from picturing this not going well for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her body. It's true, her body is still wounded
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So what. Lets do it
* Marcus` frowns. "You should use your powers to become an 18 year old again. Eh? Eh?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, nice, Marcus. Maybe when you show me the pleasures you muster, I'll moan out and blow up the planet.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Marcus
* Marcus` pauses and starts laughing.
<Chii> If you say so, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I say so
<Dias`> <Dias> We still heading back to base, or what's going on?
* Chii leans over and hugs Cheryl, giggling.
* Sally`Wolf eyes Marcus, then the kid, so, the rumors are true.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Head to the base. Hopefully Alexander has reinforcements ready
<Dias`> What about the gear happy girls?
<Marcus`> Wanna play rock-paper-sci *He pauses and sighs* I lead with this arm. *he waves his the missing hand arm at her*
<DeathStar> <Paladin> IF they can slow it down, they should try so
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy Ridark ship fallows
* Dias` looks back. 1"Cheryl stay alive till we get back."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hugged. She eyes Chii
<DeathStar> 6* She then falls backwards and out of the shuttle
<Chii> ...Wheee....!
* Xrileshr walks towards the cockpit " With all due respect sir, isnt taking the child to our base a tactical error? She will cut our forces if so. "
<DeathStar> <Paladin> She might be the only chance we have to win.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor steps out to talk to Cassandra.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...what's the prognosis?
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Flesh wound. And then she ninja vanished when we turned out backs.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *slaps her hand to her forehead*
<DeathStar> <Doctor> She's a very stubborn patient.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Well, if you'll sign this, we wish you luck in finding her. 6* Holds up a sheet for patients to sign out with
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *stands up and signs the sheet*
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Good day, Mrs. Arakawa. 6* He moves off, passing a suspicious plant
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *walks over to the plant* Ninja disguise number 12?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna clears her throat, sitting on a bench down the hall, dressed like a nurse. Only with bandages on still.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...stop talking to the vegitation, Cass."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ... ... ...then...this plant wasn't here ten minutes ago! I have video that proves it!
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets up and takes Cassandra by the arm gently, "Come on Cass... we need to get you out of here. This place is getting to you."
<DeathStar> 6* BOOM. From nearby
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Ok...I know I heard THAT.
<DeathStar> 6* People move to the windows, talking in excited tones.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Never a dull..." *heads to the window*
<DeathStar> 6* A building collapses, sending up dust into the sky. Nearby, a giant Dark Ship, made of partial rocks, is battling other shipd
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...moment.
<DeathStar> 6* A damaged dragon Gear emerges from the smoke, sparking. It seems war is going on out there.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...got any guns big enough for that?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> No, I left it in my other pants...
<DeathStar> 6* One should note, it's night time by now in Tokyo
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Right... let's get your other pants then." *heads for the door*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle; Before Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ridiarium ship chases them, launching matter balls and rocks at the shuttle. PREPARE YOURSELF

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle expertly flies through them. Meanwhile, Cheryl prepares her weapons, now in Gear form
* Xrileshr moniters a visual readout of the Dark Rid ship over Dias's shoulder " If one thing can be said regarding the ridarium, they know a thing or two about design.. no weaknesses in this one's armor either. superb display of mental agility by the way " he says as an afterthought.
<Dias`> 6Dias reaches behind and shoves Xril back. 1"I NEED SPACE!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get me in close.
<Chii> Yeah, yeah.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fighting spirit, Fox.
* Chii makes a diagonal arc-- fighting it head on would be crazy and leave no time to dodge anything.
<Chii> Heheh... Don't have to tell me that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then send us head on.
* Chii sighs, then grips her hands and adjusts their angle, speeding up. 1"Let's go, then. C'mon!"
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF, CHII
* Xrileshr is pushed back, and chuckles, taking a seat in the co-pilots chair, setting a few options on the weapons panel

<Chii> rdurl
* Xrileshr powers up the main cannon, attempting to blast the rocks hurling at Chii to ease the load
<DeathStar> 6* The rocks smash into Chii, knocking them back, but Xril manages to fire and stop the rest from impacting
<Chii> Tch. This is why you look for openings.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> KEEP GOING
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to charge the whip
* Chii adjusts, cracks her neck, then resumes. 1"Use yo."
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils whip at Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slashes the whip out at them, getting in closer.
* Chii swipes a clawed hand at any others, focusing on charging the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Dias is approaching Tokyo. A message comes over the comm
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We have reinforcements ready at the city. Bring her in.
* Dias` reaches and hits the comm.
<Dias`> 6Dias adjust their heading, bringing them in.
<DeathStar> 6* Once they get in close, Cheryl tries to punch it with her whipped hand
* Xrileshr watches the Dark Rid ship, firing only at the lashing tentacles as he continues to cover Chii and Cheryl, waiting for some opening to pelt the main structure with missiles effectively, or possibly disable any weaponsystems they might have
<DeathStar> 6* As they fly fly in, they pass three battleships, and planetary weapons set up, which begin to rain down on the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on Marcus, watching the fireworks
* Chii eyes the ship as they attack, looking for anything vulnerable at all.
<Marcus`> Pretty, eh? Bills.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a blast hits Cheryl and Chii, sending them flying into the city at high speeds, and into a building
<Dias`> Still the base, right Pal?
<Marcus`> * Theron quietly shifts to watch the attacks on the rid Ship.
<Chii> What the FUCK was that!?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Turn us back around for now.
* Chii strains to regain control, crying loudly as they reel.
<Dias`> Huh? 6He turns to look at Paladin
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises from the dust, her body sparking. "gRah..."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We have to stop that thing from reaching the city. With the combined forces we're hitting it with, we might can.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ridiarium ship whips out, hitting whatever it can
<Dias`> <Dias> Alright. 6He turns the ship around.
<Xrileshr> ... Well there go our pawns. *he he continues to fire at the whipping tendrils
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They are not pawns.
<DeathStar> 6* A tendril whips out at the shuttle, even as it's shot
* Sally`Wolf grins, she's sooooo telling Cheryl.
* Marcus` sighs. "Just give it a rest Kat. This is why we're at war with the Tsiv."
<Dias`> 6Dias rolls the ship
<DeathStar> 6* It keeps going on, right for Cheryl on the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up at the tendril coming in
<Xrileshr> This is a war. Get used to it *He says calmly to Katrina
<DeathStar> <Paladin> How does it reach that far...?
* Chii wrenches for control, leaping out of the way as she would on her own
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No
<Dias`> Maybe it's shifting it's mass from somewhere else.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril smashes where they were, entering the city. Suddenly, it begins to drain something from the ground, as if eating it. Billy cries out, grabbing her heart.
* Marcus` jerks. "Billy!?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh no. Here we go.
<Xrileshr> Fine by me. *he says, quickly entering commands into the computers
<Sally`Wolf> "War isn't an excuse to call your teammates pawns."
<Marcus`> Wait, What?! Not now!?
<DeathStar> 6* Tokyo rumbles as the ground is being sucked up
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We need to destroy that tendril now
<Dias`> 6Dias arcs the shuttle around, heading in towards the tendril now.
<Xrileshr> Right. *Fires a missile at the tendril
* Chii turns and begins firing on the tendril with guns.
* Marcus` pulls Billy tight to himself. "No Billy, fight it."
<DeathStar> 6* The missiles hit it, destroying parts of it, but it's still intact.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh yeah. STOP THE OVERLOADING ENERGY
<Dias`> 6Dias flies by and arcs around again.
<Marcus`> You can't give up!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips at it
<Xrileshr> Alright. *Fires a volley of missiles next time
<DeathStar> <Billy> Tch.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Right.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hurries to the ramp
<Sally`Wolf> "It just never calms down..."
* Marcus` jumps to his feet. "What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy launches spinning black discs at the tendril. "Not giving up? What, you want me to give up now?"
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril finally breaks apart from the combined attacks
<Marcus`> No No. I thought you were going to jump out or something dumb like that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm not you
<Marcus`> Oh wow. That hurts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and Setsuna would arrive near the Cheryl Gear.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Really? 6* She beams
* Marcus` frowns. "Jerk."
* Dias` brings the shuttle around, heading back towards the Rid-Dark-Ship
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridark ship begins to form a massive dark matter ball in the sky
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gasps. "Oh, that's bad."
<Sally`Wolf> "Shit..."
<Dias`> <Dias> Very bad.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh yeah? How bad is it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up at the sky.
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "I don't think there's a punch line, sadly."
<Chii> Hrmph.
* Chii leaps upward and begins moving for the ship.
<DeathStar> <Billy> In the good words of Adam, if you can't beat them, join them!
<Xrileshr> Perhaps I should fire on the ball? Perhaps I can detonate it before its primed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What the hell is going on here?"
<DeathStar> <PAladin> That would detonate it, or make it bigger.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> So...uh...Cheryl...just crashed in front of us.
<Marcus`> Why do you think Adam is dead? Seriously.
* Xrileshr begins locking onto the forming ball " Awaiting your command, General. "
<DeathStar> <Billy> Because some robo chick got off stabbing him.
<DeathStar> <PAladin> Aim at the ship. Destroy IT
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, wait. MOM!
<Dias`> God I hate these Dark Matter balls. 6He brings them in towards the Ridark Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smiles, smacking her head
<Xrileshr> This will destroy the ship
<Marcus`> See? You join the bad guys and you'll get stabbed by a robo-*He pauses.* What about Cass?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And perhaps Tokyo.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Mom killed Adam. IT was a sad day for evil
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *was said Robochick.
<Dias`> <Dias> I want a new co-pilot.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Just do as you're told Tsiv. *he says in a cold tone*
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter ball grows larger, like a small moon
<DeathStar> <Billy> I know! WE'll throw you and Dias into the matter ball. 6* She nods.
* Chii charges the ship at an angle, firing along its side.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah. Last time I touched a matter ball, this happened. *he holds up the stub*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Clearly you didn't have your heart in it
<Xrileshr> Then I will spare this water. *he unleashes a full barage at the Rid ship, depleting the missile rounds, the main cannon beggining to overheat
<Marcus`> Clearly we should throw you at it!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. Do it
<Dias`> 6Dias flies along the side of the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy nods.
<Marcus`> What!? I was kidding!
<DeathStar> <Billy> DIAS! I WANT TO JUMP INTO THE BALL. GET ME ABOVE IT
<Marcus`> Dias, you get her above it and i'll kill you!
<Dias`> <Dias> What?! That's a Dias move!
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you know. I feel sadly underprepared for this."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Then you should be proud!
* Sally`Wolf holds her head and looks at Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridark Ship tries to blast the shuttle and Cheryl
<Dias`> Well I can't argue that...6He jerks the ship around, bringing them upwards along side it.
<Dias`> You sure about this?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves at Marcus. "Ja ne!"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> You and me both.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy runs for the ramp edge.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Wait, she plans to leap in it?
<Marcus`> Billy no! *he attempts to snatch her*
* Dias` brings up and along the side of the Dark Matter Ball, making his way for hte top.
* Chii twists to the side and speeds horizontally to dodge it, then shifts and forms seals with the gear hands. 1"Heheh. Raiton!" She holds one of the gears hands up, then swipes it down, bringing down a gear-worthy bolt for where the Ridarium ship's rear engines should be.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy giggles, and leaps off for the ball, springing once they're at a height that she can land in it. Sets and CAss would see a certain asian girl falling to it
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> BILLY!
<Sally`Wolf> "I think she just did sir."
<Xrileshr> Well well well, what do we have here? Brave child.. *he remarks, gazing at the descending child from the cockpit window
* Marcus` slides to the edge of the ramp, grasping to catch himself, reaching out a hand for her.
<Dias`> 6Dias passes over the top of the Dark Matter ball and brings them down the other side.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares at Xril, then looks. "Will she be okay?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...!" *reaches for a grappling hook and finds... she's still dressed as a nurse*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy enters the dark matter ball
<Dias`> Of course she will be. She's got the Hero's Spirit.
<Sally`Wolf> "The what?"
<Marcus`> I-I Don't know! I don't know! *he stares out at it, tense*
<DeathStar> 6* The Riddark ship begins to crack in parts, parts of it's insides open to attack
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods her head at a crack. "There."
<Dias`> 6Dias jerks the ship down and back at the Riddark Ship, heading for a crack. 1"FIRE AT IT"
* Xrileshr pivots the main cannon, firing into the cracks
<Chii> I know." 6Swerves around and heads straight for it, laughing loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium ship blows rocks
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter ball vanishes and a girl falls
<Marcus`> DIAS! CATCH HER!
<Dias`> On it. 6He pulls the controls back and loops backwards, flying down and over towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* This means Xril can no longer shoot the ship
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh yeah, that's a good trade, instead of stabbing we let her die by going splat."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna curses, and darts towards Billy in case the others can't do anything. If nothing else, she's softer than pavement.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl prepares all her energy for one attack
<Dias`> 6Dias hits the boosters to try and catch up and get ahead of her
* Xrileshr sits back, monitering the shuttle's damage report. The cannon needed time to cool down anyway
<DeathStar> 6* Dias passes Bily
<DeathStar> 6* But not Billy, apparantly.
* Marcus` stares. "What the fuck?"
* Dias` swings the shuttle under her and glances back to line her up. He slows the shuttle down to bring her inside.
<Xrileshr> ... Someone want to catch her? *he says, opening the ramp from the computer if its not already open
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *dashes after Setsuna!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy falls inside the shuttle, flying at the cockpit at high speeds
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> They got her!
<Marcus`> Uh oh. *Marcus attempts to catch her*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy smashes Marcus. Hard.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, Chii, ready?
* Marcus` grunts and crashes to the floor, laying there. Owie.
* Dias` jerks the shuttle up so as not to slam into the ground and or building tops.
<Chii> Damn straight.
* Xrileshr looks down at Marcus as he slides into the cockpit " good catch "
* Sally`Wolf elans over to see if they're both dead.
<Marcus`> .....
<DeathStar> 6* Dias flies at Setunsa and Cassandra dramatically
<DeathStar> <Billy> ....
* Chii suddenly veers straight down for the opening that's been created. 1"Kiiyahhh!"
<Marcus`> ...you gain...weight? *he says after a second*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl unleashes all their energy at the crack. The ship begins to break apart
<Dias`> 6Dias pulls up on the controls. 1"PULL UP! PULL UP!"
<DeathStar> 6* Billy doesn't respond. Marcus can feel energy. Evil energy. Building from her.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias zooms over the heads of the two. If they'r awesome enough, they could grab on
* Chii grins and grapples the edges of the breaking ship, flinging them back upward, kicking off to get started on a heavy retreat
<Sally`Wolf> "She dead?"
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would find their body harder to move. Suddenly they form into two people again, falling with the rocks
* Marcus` widens his eyes and sits up with her, wincing at the pain from having a meteor named Billy hit him. "...no but that's probably put her over. I don't think we have much time left."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ... ... ...Dias must be piloting...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl falls, nude once more. Her body has scars and black lines all over it. Xril, if he's paying attention, would see she's Dark One infected
* Chii thuds against the Ridarium ship, grunting. She shakes her head, then peers over at Cheryl. 1"God damn it."
* Marcus` pulls her eye open. "Billy. You alive? Billy?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cheryl's falling, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina calls out
<Xrileshr> She's been consumed by the darkness. I dare say there is no hope for her now.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what the fuck are they doing up there. I swear, if they hurt Billy, I'll kill them..."
* Chii leaps from falling rock to falling rock, using them as makeshift ground to reach toward Cheryl.
<Dias`> <Dias> Tell me where. 6He pulls up again, and brings them around in a tight loop, heading back to the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Chii catches up
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina points up
<Marcus`> <Theron> Up. Dias.
* Dias` pulls up, his eyes darting around as he searches for them.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would see falling rocks. Lots of falling rocks
* Chii leaps down again and snatches for Cheryl's limbs
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts as she's snatched. "Ehh...?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Come on...Naked Cheryl..nakeD CHERYL.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias sees Chii grabbing a naked Cheryl.
<Xrileshr> General. 'Cheryl' unit has been infected by the Dark One's influence. Should I fire on her?
<Dias`> <Dias> AND MY LESBIAN RADAR KICKS IN. 6He flies towards them.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> She's been infected for 8 months
* Marcus` snorts. "8 months is nothing."
<Dias`> <Dias> It really is nothing.
* Sally`Wolf shakes her head quietly.
<Chii> Rise and shine, Cherry. This ain't the time for a catnap.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chii slowly. "Fuck...you..."
<Dias`> 6Dias turns the shuttle downards, heading after the two
<DeathStar> 6* Dias flies parallal with the two
<Xrileshr> So be it. *he continues monitering the incoming stones from the Dark Rid ship, deflecting them with a cannon blast when necessary
<Chii> Eh, I'll gladly do you." 6Tugs on Cheryl's cheeks, then peers around, spotting the shuttle.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> He's coming back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face turns red. "Bitch"
<Dias`> 6Dias hits the boosters to get ahead of them
<DeathStar> 6* Dias gets ahead of them, and rocks
<Dias`> Ok that's not going to work...6He pulls back, lining his wing up to them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wing, too tired to reach for it
<Ariel> Setsuna> "You know Cass, you should invest in one of those subspace pocket thingies. So many times when that railgun would come in handy."
<Dias`> 6Dias brings the wing under them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the wing.
* Chii wraps Cheryl's arm over her shoulders and springs from her current rock for the wing, grasping with her fingers.
<DeathStar> 6* Thankfully, Chii grabs the wing. Since hitting the wing does little
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> That's Myria's area.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You got them.
<Dias`> 6Dias eyes the ground getting closer and he pulls off to the side and starts pulling up.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle gives him a fatal error message.
<DeathStar> 6* And the controls remain locked
<Dias`> ....6Dias hits the controls
<DeathStar> 6* meanwhile, Billy's body begins to glow, and all those could feel it. Power begins to die in the shuttle
<Xrileshr> What is this? *He eyes the flashing screen infront of dias*
<Sally`Wolf> "Awww shit."
<Sally`Wolf> "We're going to die, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> 6* The controls are hit
<Dias`> Bad news, now shut up. 6He grabs the controls tightly and tries to pull regain control
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Both of you pull up on your ccontrols.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Uh. Guys?!" He stands up, holding Billy.
* Xrileshr nods, mimicking Dias's movements
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to lift up, aiming at Cass and Sts
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, gripping Chii tightly. "We're dead."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Now he's aiming at us.
<Dias`> 6Dias continues pulling up, his muscles tense. 1"One more time...One more time."
<Marcus`> GUYS!
<DeathStar> 6* the shuttle hits the ground, skidding along it at the two
<Chii> Gee, that's a great fighting spirit, Cherry.
* Marcus` acks and falls back, still holding Billy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Practicalism is part of a fighter.
<Ariel> 6*Setsuna moves out of the way of the shuttle of doom.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grips the insides of the shuttle
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *runs to avoid.
<Chii> Right. I prefer stubborness. It keeps you alive.
<Dias`> Brace for impact.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "Yeah? Right."
* Chii eyes stuff going by, then throws a kunai-driven wire for a street lamp, coiling it... dragging her and Cheryl off the shuttle and doing some flips around the bar thanks to momentum.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips Chii tighter, burying her face in Chii's chest
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle skids along and hits a building side, stopping
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin makes a face as he's jerked.
<Marcus`> * Theron stands there, holding himself up. "Unfortunately, your warning was a bit late."
* Xrileshr braces against the console, gritting his teeth as the shuttle slams to a halt
<Dias`> 6SPoC jerks in her seat
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna slowly looks around to peek in the hatch, "...nice landing."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy's face begins to be covered in black lines
* Marcus` jerks up quickly. "SETSUNA BILLY IS GOING TO EXPLODE!"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> What the hell did you guys do to her?!
* Sally`Wolf unbuckles herself and starts to climb out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina manages to get to her feet, eyeing the girl. Anyone could feel the build up of evil in her.
<Dias`> 6Dias slams his head on the controls, busting it open. Black/Red blood oozing out.
* Chii heaves a big sigh, then peers at Cheryl, unable to contain some laughing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... WHAT? 6* She jerks her head back
<Sally`Wolf> "Fed her the evil powers of the dark ones? No wait, that was the Ridariums."
<Marcus`> It was the Rid!
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pauses* "...what the FUCK do you MEAN EXPLODE?!"
* Marcus` holds her up. "FiX her FIX HER!"
* Xrileshr places a hand on Dias's shoulder " Calm yourself. " he eyes the black blood
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's going to overload with dark energy and take out the planet.
<Sally`Wolf> "Like you're doing now, only with a lot bigger lightshow."
<Dias`> ...Calm myself? What the hell are you talking about? 6He shrugs the tsiv's hand off his shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at Dias. "We need to kill her before she overloads."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin then turns to go to Billy.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *curses* "Psionic I might deal with... but what do you do with da-WHAT?!"
* Marcus` jerks from Paladin. "Are you crazy!? She's a kid."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> She said it herself, if we kill her, we server the connection. And then we can attempt to revive her.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Kill her?!
* Dias` gets out of the pilots seat and looks at Setsuna. 1"Wait, isn't she a giant anti-dark one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't add in her thoughts.
<Xrileshr> Your anger will make you slow. *he says, picking up his rifle, standing* No use staying in this pile of refuse.. * he walks towards the ramp
<Chii> Nothing. It was kind of comfy, really. Haa haa.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...and how will you revive her, huh?
<Marcus`> Wait. Dias is right. *He holds up Billy towards Setsuna* Fix her!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go of Chii, opting to fall
* Chii keeps a grip on her arm with her opposite hand.
<Sally`Wolf> "We're near a hospital right? We can take Zombie kid there after we kill her."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... tch
<Chii> Hrmph. I need your help./
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry, too weak. Better luck next time
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What do you mean, fix her?!" *is more concerned than angry, She's trying to think of something*
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks around for something to smother her.
<Dias`> <Dias> Put your blood in her.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna goes to say something, then stops. They must have some reason to suggest something so screwed up... but she can't figure it out
<Marcus`> Just do it already. She's about to blow.
* Myria hops out and holds up her psi-amp to Setsuna.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I thought Setsuna could only do psionic blocking. This isn't psionics, is it?
<Dias`> I don't know. I'm not a genius!
* Xrileshr stands on the ramp, looking over the scene
<Myria> Nope, but I have this psi-amp anyway!
<Chii> Fine. Leave me here. I can't move my left hand. The entire arm is out of place in multiple spots.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe when I get energy.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes the psiamp and activates it... if this doesn't do anything, her blood probally won't. "....."
* Chii glances up. 1"I can't let go of the wire device."
* Marcus` groans. "I...Fuck I can't let Billy die."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds her head, psionically blocked
<DeathStar> 6* Billy suddenly sits up, eyeing Setsuna
* Dias` jerks leaping back.
* Marcus` tilts his head, at Billy. Trying to feel out and see if she is still imploding.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *speaks slowly, trying to calm herself* "I want to help... but short of showering her with my own blood... I need something to go on here."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Uhhhh...did that do anything?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rises, forming a dark energy blade
<Sally`Wolf> "We don't really have time for this shit."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You will all die.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *reaches over and turns off the psi-amp*
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts his feet and dashes in at Billy
* Xrileshr fires an aimed shot at Billy's skull as she forms the blade
<Dias`> 6Dias shifts in the way of the shot
* Marcus` jerks her to the side incase.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pauses, then her power begins to spike again. It seems that was stopping the flow
<Marcus`> TURN IT BACK ON!
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes a step back, turning the amp back on.
* Xrileshr 's eye twitches... are his teammates trying to lose?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy swings her sword at Marcus' head
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *pushes the on switch again*
<DeathStar> <Paladin> What is going on? 6* He gets a stun shot ready.
<Dias`> 6Dias stumbles forward and hits the ground, blood oozing from his back
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias!
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Dmaned if you do....damned if you don't...oi.
<Dias`> 6SPoC aims her gun at Xril now.
* Marcus` jerks his head back, urking. "It's working. She's just full of energy." He sadly drops Billy though.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up with her whip, and snaps Chii free with her remaining energy
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leaps at Setsuna, swinging the sword down at her.
<Xrileshr> You know my intentions. *he says to SPoC, his gun still aimed.
<Dias`> O-oww...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I swear, can we get a moment where our daughter isn't kidnapped, trying to kill us, or both!" *pulls her pistol as she hops back, and sets it to stun*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs a kit, slapping a patch onto it.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *moves to grapple Billy*
<Dias`> <SPoC> And you now know mine. I will not refrain from shooting you.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is grappled. She begins to try to gather energy from her body
<Xrileshr> If that is your choice...
<Marcus`> * Theron adjusts his arms, waiting for a moment to make a move.
<DeathStar> 6* And unleash dark energy into Cass
* Marcus` stands back up.
<Dias`> We gotta...beat it out of her now.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> GAAAAH!
<DeathStar> <Billy> Earth is doomed. Even if you stop us here.
* Marcus` laughs. "God I forgot how creepy that was."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna fires a stunned shot at Billy. "...yeah. Heard that before. Now give her back."
<Xrileshr> Why do you cling to that child? She is a liability.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is hit, falling back
<Dias`> And so are you.
<Dias`> NRP: SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* The sword vanishes for now and she falls on her butt, unless Cass holds on
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *holds on*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Ungh...hi Robo Momma.
* Marcus` steps forward, reaching out with his hand, trying to get a feel for the energy in her.
<Dias`> How bad is it?
<DeathStar> 6* She's brimming with dark energy, but it's not overloading
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You'll live.
<Xrileshr> Am I? Precautionary measures have been introduced to keep me in line. Can you say the same for her? *he gestures towards the battle
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> You're not going to be genocidally evil right now, are you?
<Dias`> See? Too stupid.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl checks on chii now that she's been freed.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm always genocidally evil.
<Dias`> 6SPoC keeps her eyes and gun trained on Xril. 1"You will now lower your weapon.
<Sally`Wolf> "Do you usually refer to yourself as a collective/"
<Marcus`> ....if you turn the Psi Amp back on, she'll spike again.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Only when I'm bored.
<Sally`Wolf> "Are you bored?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> No. Pissed.
<Sally`Wolf> "Then we got problems."
* Chii groans and sits up after crumpling into the ground. She rubs her head with one hand, the other not moving.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I say we keep the psi-amp near her for now.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And think of a device we can use to keep her from building
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at the amp* "...you know, it might not do anything.... but maybe the transfusion might help?"
<Dias`> 6Dias pushes himself up, wincing slightly. He stands up. 1"Thanks Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No problem
* Marcus` makes a face and pats Billy's head. "I suggest we try Setsuna's blood at least."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We'll see. We'll take her back to the base and have Caduceus monitor her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy bites the hand
* Dias` raises his hand. 1"I just want to note that I'm a fucking genus and I saved Billy's life."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Um, sorry. Collective evil made me do that
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Guess I'm going to need an overnight bag."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fine. You're a genius and you saved billy's life
<Marcus`> OW! *he pulls it back and eyes her* I'll get you back for that.
* Sally`Wolf chuckles.
* Xrileshr lowers gus gun " Seems to have worked itself out anyway.. "
<Dias`> Twice. And don't forget. I also saved Cheryl and the fox's."
<Sally`Wolf> "For a Zombie I like this girl."
<Marcus`> * Theron seems to relax.
* Xrileshr keeps his eyes trained of Billy " Curious child.. "
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We know. And beat a Giant Ridiarium
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls her eyelid down at Xril
<Myria> Hmmm...it seems they can transfer energy psionically if the null psi-amp effect stopped it.
<DeathStar> 6* And sticks out her tongue
* Dias` blinks then looks at Kat. 1"Oh yeah. I did that too. God I'm awesome."
<Marcus`> * Theron peers. "You have much more to go, Mr. Dias."
<Dias`> 6SPoC lowers her gun finally.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: HQ. Many Hours Later
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus monitors the blood fusion for now.
<DeathStar> <CAduceus> If this fails, I'll try to set up a device for her to block psionics. But it would probably be best to keep her on base for the duration of the war.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, having opted to go to her room despite injuries, is in her bed
* Sally`Wolf is resting off a good number of broken bones and scrapes she got wrestling Ridariums.
* Marcus` sits nearby, watching. "That's fine with me."
<Dias`> <Dias> You won't have to set one up. 6He looks at Cad.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... *nods, looking at Cass and Sets* It would seem we're going to have to hold onto your daughter for now
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps the two could join the unit once again. There help is always needed.
* Chii stalks Cheryl, eyeing her from the dark.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mumbles into the pillow, sleeping in her bra and underwear. "What?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I want to be around in case they try something again... and anyways, the house is trashed. AGAIN."
<Dias`> My old buddy John had a chip in his head that blocked psionics completely.
* Sera|SleepingCabbit has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, and it gave him brain damage.
<Chii> I want a kiss...~
* Sera|SleepingCabbit is now known as Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
* Chii huffs. 1"I did good, didn't I? C'mon. C'monnn."
* Xrileshr knocks on Sally's door, ignoring the two feeble guards behind him.
<Dias`> It's been several years since than. They'd of had to made it better by now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Get your kiss.
<Seraphna> <Sally> "Meh? Come in."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope.
* Chii moves over toward Cheryl, grinning like a cheshire.
<Dias`> You know, less brain damage, more non brain damage.
<Marcus`> Or they stopped all work on it, since it was a Janus thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waits for Chii to get close, then grabs her and smothers her into a pillow
<Chii> Mrghhnrnrghrghgh!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eats cookies
<Dias`> 6SPoC sits in the rec room. Drawing.
* Chii flails beneath the pillow.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yay! I get to stay and do evil!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sleeps
* Xrileshr opens the door, ducking under the doorway as he steps in " The most difficult thing to deal with regarding humans may just be your entryways. "
* Marcus` slowly leans forward to reach out for a cookie.
* Dias` looks over at Billy. 1"Only 650 more to go."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy forms a dark blade, eyeing him
* Marcus` pauses. "Pwease?" He pouts.
<Seraphna> Sally> "It's our natural deterrent against our enemies."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> "Well, i was on board for the last big mission.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'll stab you
* Marcus` sighs and pulls his arm back.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...she would."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy puts up the dark blade and eats the cookies, beaming like a happy Asian kid
<Seraphna> * Jennifer steps into the Rec Room, taking a seat next to SPoC, "Hey..."
* Sally`Wolf has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Dias`> <SPoC> Hello Jennifer. 6She nods to her.
* Chii sighs and groans loudly, then reaches up and realizes she can hug Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go, and shoves
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles and hugs her a little. "Glad to see you came back safe..."
* Xrileshr chuckles " Effective. " his hace becomes serious " I came to see how you were recovering. I may have been a bit hasty with my targeting today. "
* Dias` holds his fists out for knocks to Billy. 1"Good job with the Dark Matter Dive."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes the fist, then tenatively knocks fist. "I hope you haven't used that in any manner I don't want to know about."
<Seraphna> Sally> "I'll be fine Xil, I'm used to friendly fire in this unit."
<Marcus`> You know he has.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I am also glad that I came back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her room, reading a book
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus hums as he works on stuff
<Xrileshr> Good to hear. Friendly fire is always a possibility. *he nods, she gets a creepy feeling he knows from experience..
* Chii cries as she falls off the bed, thudding. 1"..B-Bitch.." 6She waves a fist over the edge of the bed half-heartedly, then collapses.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to go back to his officer
<Seraphna> * Jennifer giggles a little. "Didn't get any nastey bumps did you?"
<Dias`> 6Dias pauses, getting an odd look on his face as he stares off into space briefly. 1"I don't think i have.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head to Paladin and moves off for the hanger.
<Dias`> <SPoC> No, I came back relatively unharmed.
<Seraphna> Sally> "No offense, but I'm tempted to make a joke about how we met you."
* Myria scampers off for her lab/workshop.
<Xrileshr> A joke? *he asks, interested
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye the ceiling. "Kiss, eh?"
* Marcus` stands, he reaches out and pats Billy's head again. "I'm glad you're not dead, kid."
<Chii> Hm?
<DeathStar> <Billy> Me too. Dead sucks
<Seraphna> Sally> "Well it would be a little number about knowing it was unintentional since I'm still alive."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I should call Kat for you.
<Marcus`> You're telling me. *he smirks*
<Chii> Why would you call Kat?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> To give you a kiss.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "That's good. I missed you."
<Chii> If I wanted to kiss Kat, I'd go find Kat.
* Dias` leans in close to Billy and whispers in her ear.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes.
* Chii snorts. 1"You never praise me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did good.
* Xrileshr nods, smirking " It seems you know me already. "
* Chii sits up and looks over, looking like she was shot.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Gross, Dias.
<Dias`> What? It'd be very evil.
* Marcus` eyes the two. "I'll be seeing you two around." He shifts to leave.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She looks at Cass and Sets.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *looks at Billy and Sets*
<Seraphna> Sally> "Seems I do." *she looks around* "Speaking of outcast group members, where the hell is Scar? You seen him?"
<Xrileshr> I know no 'Scar'.
<Dias`> <SPoC> And how was school while I was gone?
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus runs into an 18 year old Billy.
<DeathStar> <18 Yr. Old Billy> Hi, Maaaarcus
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares
<Seraphna> Sally> "Oh, he's a shapeshifter."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What, you need more?
<Chii> No, I guess not.
* Dias` turns to eye the 18 year old Billy and Marcus. 1"See? Like that."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You did real good and your tail is soft as silk
* Marcus` pauses and arches a brow. "........"
* Chii gawks.
<DeathStar> 6* She attempts to kiss Marcus
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Alright I suppose, Aya got kidnapped and saved again... and now she's turning into a space case, and Sensei ran out on us during class too."
<Marcus`> YOU'RE A FAKE! *he freaks out and runs down the hall*
<Dias`> <SPoC> I do not understand. Space case?
<Dias`> Oh he'd totally do you if you were 18.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Living in her own little world, disconnected, overly shy, the works."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes her parents again
<Dias`> Even more if you were 15.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Dias slowly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rests comfortably now
<Xrileshr> Shapeshifter? Just what is this team? It seems quite.. diverse.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *rubs the bridge of her nose*
<Dias`> Hey look. More evil cookies. 6He sets another box on her lap and turns to quicky leave.
<Marcus`> * Theron begins to start working on his gear.
<DeathStar> 6* 18 year old Billy tries to kiss Dias
<Dias`> <SPoC> I see. And this bothers you.
<Seraphna> Sally> "The Dark One Countereffort. You hate Dark Ones, you wind up here."
<Dias`> Yeah...No. You looked better when you were me. 6He shifts by him
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Worries me a bit, something bad musta happened to her."
* Chii stares at Cheryl in amazement.
<DeathStar> <18 Year Billy> You hear that, kiddo?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares daggers into Dias' back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Dias`> I mean him as in Scar, Not him as in you Billy. 6He turns, holding his hands up defensively
<Chii> Y-Yeah! My tail is gorgeous, isn't it? Way softer than that pillow, fufu!
<Dias`> <SPoC> This is natural. You are her friend, correct?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yep. You know it. 6* Bland tone
* Chii crosses her arms and boasts, but still stutters and looks unsure after that.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna casually ninjaslides Billy a scaple while Dias back is turned.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Need more? You seem unsure of yourself
<DeathStar> 6* Billy launches the scaple at Dias if he dares look away
<Chii> Of course I am. You complimented me..
<DeathStar> 6* 18 year old Billy bounces off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But I hear hesitation
* Dias` knows far better than to turn his back to Billy when she has that look and a weapon.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah... I am." *she blinks a bit* "So... is the world safe for now?"
<Chii> It's unlike you to compliment me. Tch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. I won't do it again
<Dias`> <SPoC> Earth is safe for now, yes.
* Xrileshr nods " I see. " he begins turning, looking over his shoulder " Make sure to get your rest, I would hate for you to fall in battle because of a previous injurry I had caused. It seems in my haste to accomplish the mission, I had hurt a friend. " he exits, the door sliding shut behind him
<Seraphna> * Sally smiles a bit and leans back, closing her eyes.
<Marcus`> 6* There's a knock or three at Kat's door.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Well good then. So... hungry?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come in
* Marcus` opens the door. "Hey."
<Dias`> 6SPoC closes her book and stands up. 1"Yes. I could use some food."
* Chii reaches over and smacks Cheryl across the head, hrmphing.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna sighs idly, "...how is it we always end up here, anyways?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> OW! 6* She opens her eyes. "What the fuck?!"
<Chii> I didn't say you shouldn't compliment me!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Marcus. Pardon my robe. 6* She motions at the night robe/gown she's wearing
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I wish I knew.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well, I don't plan to again!
<DeathStar> <Billy> 'cause we belong here
<Dias`> Rest up Billy. 6He slides out.
* Marcus` pauses and tilts his head. "I hadn't even noticed. Pardon my staring.' He shakes his head, looking up at her. "How's it?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How is it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Soft.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stands up to. "So what do you wanna do for a meal? I could try cooking again?"
<Marcus`> I uh. Mean how are you. Us kids and our hip lingo.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm fine. And you, Marcus?
* Chii smacks Cheryl again, whining loudly, then proceeds to hit he repeatedly with the end of her tail-- wielding it like a sap.
<Dias`> 6Fear flashes across SPoC's face. 1"No. It would be safer if you did not."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> That explanation works for me.
<Marcus`> Better now. *he shifts* Mind if I sit? *he motions to a chair*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl attempts to grab it and yank it. HARD
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I don't know... I always prefer not having my home blown up."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> No kidding...
<DeathStar> <Billy> I like blown up homes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Go ahead.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...just make sure they deserve it, dear."
<DeathStar> <Billy> That's relative.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer frowns a little and pouts, "Pizza?"
* Marcus` shifts to sit down. "I noticed that Psi thing messed with your head. Is it doing better now?" He asks, seeming actually concerned.
<Dias`> <SPoC> Yes that would be safer.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, I'm far enough away
* Chii attempts to pull it back, and winds up in a painful tug of war with Cheryl
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I don't know how that frozen chicken caught fire, seriously it had to be a fluke."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds on. It appears she's not playing
<Dias`> <SPoC> Let us not talk about that event anymore.
* Marcus` crosses his arms, positioning it so the stub is hidden under his other arm. "That's good. Oh, was I interrupting or anything?"
<Chii> Hey Cheryl..." 6Strains.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Just reading.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
* Marcus` nods, and then pauses. "I ever tell you about the time Billy had me under her spell?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um. No?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at him awkwardly.
<Marcus`> Yeah, it was after that whole love spell thing. Really funny storry. Well, sorta. *he pauses* Dunno why that came to my mind.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, "We gonna go out or order in?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because you're glad she's safe?
<Chii> Is my tail really soft? If you lie I'll punish you.
<Dias`> <SPoC> What would you prefer?
* Marcus` gives one laugh, as if he was caught doing something he shouldn't. "Yeah. I guess so."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's rough as hell.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks about, "Going out!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's nice you care about her. I can tell she likes you, too
* Chii hrmphs and whiskes her tail and ears away, giving Cheryl a sudden imbalance, in which she leans in to kiss her on the lips.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as she's kissed, then proceedes to bite anything she can get. Even a lip
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Knerk that refh!
<Marcus`> Well, I have a habit of attracting young girls.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You do. 6* She nods in agreement
<Marcus`> If only you were 3 years younger. *he notes with a dramatic sigh, smiling at Kat*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If only.
* Chii backs away from Cheryl, scowling as she rubs her lip.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls back.
<Marcus`> So, I kind of messed up. But, everything seemed to work out in the end. I guess that's my luck. *he chuckles lightly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Messed up? 6* She looks at him curiously
<Marcus`> I had sex again. *he notes with a slight sigh*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. .... Who?
<Dias`> <SPoC> Then let us go out.
* Marcus` arches a brow and tilts his head. "I'm lying. Nice pause, I saw the dissappointment all over your face."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not disappointed. Just confused on who you would have sex with.
<Seraphna> * Jenn smiles and leads the way out.
* Marcus` seems to think. "Well, there's people I would, but I don't think I know anyone that actually would."
<Dias`> 6SPoC follows after her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? 6* She looks amused again. "I thought you were really popular with the ladies."
<Marcus`> Weeeelll. *he puffs his chest out* I know a thing or two.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Know any good places?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sure you do. 6* Amused sarcasm
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops scowling finally, looking at the ceiling
* Chii peers upward as well.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
* Marcus` lets out his breath, then shrugs. "Eh, I just got lucky before. Right place, right time. We all know it."
* Xrileshr paces the Human halls, commiting the layout to memory
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You must very lucky then
<DeathStar> *Be
<Dias`> <SPoC> No I do not. I assumed that you would.
<Chii> Sorry. But you said come get it, after all. I devised a plan.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks confused
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I do." *she smiles with a little less pep for some reason, but seems to recover*
* Marcus` shrugs, apparently deciding he wants to stop talking about the sex stuff now. "So Chii and Cheryl seem to be doing better. That's uh, good I guess. Right?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess so. 6* She sounds unsure
<Seraphna> * Jennifer steps out into the parking lot, surveying the damage.
<Marcus`> Cheryl's more fragile than I could ever imagine. I know you're hoping the two can equal each other out. But sometimes I think Chii is just making things worse.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. PSch. I was being sarcastic to beat you up
<Chii> I know. But I won. Fufufu!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fragile? You think so? 6* She seems curious. "Maybe so. But she clearly cares about Chii, so Chii can't be doing everything wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and rolls over with her face in the pillow. Seemingly done with Chii
<Marcus`> Of course not. But Cheryl opens up to me on the occassion. And since Chii wants MORE, it's just making things weird. I know that Cheryl would be fine with being with Chii if she thought it was just a casual thing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah, I imagine so.
* Chii leans over onto her elbows. On Cheryl's back.
<Marcus`> But, I don't want to talk about that. I was wondering if you'd thought about leaving anytime soon. And if so, I came to talk you out of it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... 6* Grinds her teeth. "Off."
<Chii> One, two, three. You're out!
<DeathStar>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up to grab Chii's arm and swing her roughly into the bed. "You're OUT!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? 6* She blinks, caught off guard. "I don't know yet when I'll go."
* Marcus` nods. "I just know you're sticking around for Chii. And I thought with her a Cheryl doing better than you may try to slip off. But I really think you should stay. You're not this epic soldier, but you really do bring a lot to this team."
* Chii grunts and winces, then peers at Cheryl.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at SPoC.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? What do I bring to this team? 6* She sounds amused
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl presses down on Chii, pinning her, glaring at her.
* Chii continues to stare. Then blushes and grins.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ......
<DeathStar> 6* She glares more.
* Marcus` sits forward, placing his elbows onto his legs to prop himself up, showing his stump for the first time. "You bring something that most of us has seemed to forgot. You bring a heart, a compassion. Humanity. We all get wrapped up and loose ourselves sometimes. But you don't."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back, looking somewhat reflective. "Oh, I lose it on occassion. This team has a lot of pent up energy, after all. A lot of negativity that I feel too and sometimes act on."
* Marcus` gives her a look. "Yeah but I know that you do your best to keep yourself composed more than anyone else. Besides, Dias will miss you, like crying himself to sleep miss you. Would you do that to him?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm. Would he now? Perhaps I should ask him.
<Dias`> 6SPoC looks at Jennifer.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Oh that's dirty."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches for a comm to call Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps glaring, trying to intimidate Chii
<Marcus`> Okay! I was talking about me. *he sighs* You happy?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stops, and smiles. "Honesty is always refreshing."
* Chii just reddens more and seems to swoon.
<Marcus`> I mean I don't cry or anything like that. I was exaggerating, you know that, righr?
<Marcus`> NRP: right*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go, looking half-way disgusted and freaked out
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bitch
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Ummm..." *heads to SPoC's car*
<Marcus`> I-*he pauses* I really would miss you. But I would never admit to actually crying. Everyone's always trying to break down my manhood, I have to keep what little I can.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fair enough. 6* She's amused.
<Dias`> <SPoC> Yes?
* Marcus` sighs. "I don't think it's possible to woo you. Like, really knock you off your feet."
* Chii peers upward a bit disappointedly. 1"Aww.."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "What happened out here anyways?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls onto her back again beside Chii
<Dias`> <SPoC> We rescued Billy from Ridariums.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, you do say I'm good at keeping my head on my shoulders. And my feet on the ground
<Marcus`> You're right. It's a good thing, too. Well, unless you're me and you're trying to sneak in to steal you from Chii. *he smirks*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Steal me from Chii, mmm? I think the only person Chii is trying to woo is a certain Dragoon.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Ridariums? They attacked the base?"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gets in the car.
<Dias`> <SPoC> No. I will explain it to you ont he way. 6She gets in an drives off.
<Marcus`> I know, but I just can't make any progess, so I blame her. *he pauses* Maybe if I got some breast implants. That's be sexy, right? *he wiggles his eyebrow, cracking up slightly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um. Lets not. 6* She gives him a sympathetic smile
<Chii> Well, it was something, at least...
<Marcus`> Needles freak me out anyway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. 6* She looks at Chii. "You need to stop that."
<Chii> Eh? Stop what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The flirting and stuff. 6* She notes, having done this before with Chii
<Chii> Oh." 6Distant.
* Marcus` pauses and stands. "Well. I guess I should let you get back to your book. I'm really relieved that everything seemed to work out."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the ceiling. "Look, you're my friend. Isn't that enough?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay. You take it easy, okay, Marcus?
<Chii> If we're just friends, why does it bother you when I spend time with Katrina and such?
* Marcus` nods his head once. "I'll try. But it's really hard when you've got to save the world every other day." He turns and moves to her door.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It doesn't!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snaps.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure you'll manage some how. 6* She smiles.
<Chii> Oh." 6Detached.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Goddammit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets annoyed.
* Marcus` grins. "You rest up. All these tense situations can cause wrinkles." He smiles now, being sly and opens her door. "Later."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wrinkles? 6* She scowls playfully.
<Marcus`> It's ok darlin. I always did prefer a lady that had aged well over time. *He steps backwards out into the hallway and gives her a salute, wiggling his brow when he does so*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes him once before the door shuts
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You always do that. 6* She snarls
* Marcus` shifts to walk off into some unknown place so his player can go to bed.
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Chii> Do what?
* Chii peers over at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You get sulky and depressed looking everytime I tell you I just want to be friends!
<Chii> Oh. Well, yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tugs at her own hair. "Jesus. Don't you have enough people you're close with sexually that you don't need to add me to the list?"
<Chii> Eh? What do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You got Katrina to be close with in that way!
<Chii> Sexually? Yeah, so what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Forget it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes
<Chii> That's all your thinking about? Maybe that's why we never see eye to eye.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, help me see eye to eye
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up, putting her eye close to Chii's.
* Chii blinks a few times, then sweeps the hair out of her eyes. 1"Mm..?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said, help me see eye to eye.
<Chii> When you're like this? Nah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "Tell me now, or this is the last time we talk about it."
<Chii> Mm, deja vu.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once and turns and gets up from her own bed
<Chii> I can't do anything about it when you act like that." 6Leans over onto an elbow.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT YOU'rE TALKING ABOUT!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, yelling
<Chii> After all, you're not some kind of conquest or something. What do you expect me to say? Yay, I slept with Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe!
* Chii twists into her own look of disgust. 1"Tch."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How about you explain it to me then?!
<Chii> I just did.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You said not some kind of conquest. That doesn't explain shit
<Chii> There's no list, Cheryl. I'm not out to defeat you in anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams her hands onto the bed. "How about you listen to me, then. You sleep with everyone you care about, because that's your way. I don't. I don't care about doing that. So, what I'm saying is, you got Katrina as your friend and she's willing to sleep with you, so be satisfied with that and let our friendship be non-sexual.
<Chii> You're suddenly okay with that, huh?
* Chii eyes her skeptically.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to know what bothered me? You wanting to sleep with me while you sleep around with her. Because I don't get what the fuck it's suppose to mean.
<Chii> Means I'm fucked up, I guess." 6Rolls over the opposite way, bringing her knees up and holding them with her arms.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. You're my goddamn friend. And I care about you. But I don't work like that. Sorry. So, if you want to sleep with Katrina, do it. It won't bother me. I just don't want you to be flirting with me at the same time.
<Chii> I know that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then where are we on this?
<Chii> Where we were before you got angry.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So nothing's changed? You're still going to do it?
* Dias` is now known as Dias-Sleep
<Chii> Do what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Flirt. Kiss me.
<Chii> Is that a problem?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her face, as if in pain
<Chii> I wasn't sleeping with Katrina last I checked. Perhaps I got busted up worse than I thought and I'm just dreaming.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. Right. 6* She waves her hand. "And how long before you sneak in for some late night goodies?"
<Chii> However long before you insult me again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So if I insult you, you'll run back to her?
<Chii> Yeah, probably. I'm not very good with my temper, after all.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She leans forward. "Your tail sucks."
<Chii> Pathetic.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to advance on Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your ears are too damn big and your face is disporportioned.
<Chii> I'm asian descent. Go tell Billy that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl circles around, eyeing Chii
<DeathStar> 6* She sighs, losing her anger, unable to maintain it. "I think I hate you some days."
<Chii> You do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She rubs her face and moves to sit on the floor.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The Scars thought they could play mind games with me, but you take the cake. I don't know what to think or do with you anymore. So I just give up.
<Chii> Deshou ne.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do whatever you want. I'm not stopping or complaining anymore
<Chii> Deshou ka?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever that means
* Chii sits up, shifting her legs over the edge of the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the floor
* Chii gets off the bed and stretches, then heads for the door.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... so you're going now?
* Chii pauses, glancing over a shoulder glumly. 1"I'm too old for dolls."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* Frowns. "Yeah. That's nice. I'm a doll alright."
<Chii> If you're not complaining anymore? Not resisting? Not thinking?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope. You're right. Totally a doll.
<Chii> Not even trying to understand. Yeah.
Session Close: Fri Jun 06 00:00:00 2008

Session Start: Fri Jun 06 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I understand you. This one is pleased to serve.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts
<Chii> You're saying that to me? Clearly you don't understand at all. Hell, that even contradicts my terms for us bonding.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up slowly, eyeing her. "Yeah? Whatcha going to do about it? Run away and leap in her bed?"
<Chii> Who?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't who me
* Chii raises an eyebrow, gazing at her in annoyance, then pauses. 1"Oh. That."
<Chii> No, probably not.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You're still running away.
<Chii> My partner left the stage a few minutes ago. What's to run away from?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once, then nods coldly. "You know. Coming from you, calling me a doll. That really hurts, Chii. Fuck you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks into the bathroom and slams the door shut
* Chii stares. 1"Coming from me... huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't respond, with the door shut.
* Chii peers upward slowly, processing that, then shakes her head, perhaps not really understanding. She moves for the door, deteriorating even further in mood, forgetting to lock, shut the door, anything. Just walking clear off for the base exit.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii walks down the hall, she's suddenly grabbed from behind and slammed against the wall. Cheryl eyes her. "No. No. You are not walking off this time."
* Chii blinks, actually frightened for a moment before she realizes who it is. 1"...U...uah?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm tired of this shit. This shit. You claim I'm not a fucking doll all the time, yet you're quick to label me off as one.
* Chii stares blankly. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers her teeth. "What the fuck do you want? I tell you what I want, yet you don't change. Clearly I have to change. And when I give up trying to get you to knock something off, you call me a fucking doll. You who say I can be more. That's bullshit."
* Chii peers toward the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets go, eyeing her angerily. "Well?! What do you have to say NOW?"
<Chii> Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then shakes, probably from anger. "Nothing? Not a word to me, eh?"
<Chii> I'm just a twisted doll, myself. I don't understand you, so how can I expect you understand me? To want to? I thought I had become something more, so it should be perfectly fine that Cheryl grew, as well. Maybe I'm just hopeless.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're never satisfied, are you? Look at you.
<Chii> You're right.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can't accept me for who I am, can you? When I always accepted who and what you were.
* Chii closes her eyes and nods.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look who's passively giving in now. No words to fight back with? That's just it? Agreeing with me and nodding?
<Chii> What I perceive as happiness isn't worth discomforting you any longer. It is likely just an illusion of my desires. Something made in the imagination of a false being filled with wrath, pride, envy and greed. One that lusts and is never satiated.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .........
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smacks Chii on the cheek
* Chii winces slightly, trying to keep a straight face, but she's also vain amidst that fucking hurting.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to hear that shit. You might have been born from darkness and filled with negative emotions, but you're a lot fucking more than that. If you're going to fall back on that as excuses, then I'll fall back on the excuse I was born as a weapon and can't be more.
* Chii gulps, her eyes welling up in tears as she remains silent; the last thing she actually wants being to admit that may be true, since she wholeheartedly wants to think otherwise.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, is this it? Are we nothing more than our base premises?
* Chii grinds her teeth, shaking. She clenches her eyes shut, draining away tears across her cheeks, then takes a step, shoving Cheryl back away from her and the wall, throwing a hand out. 1"Shut up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles back, leaning against the opposite wall, eyeing her
<Chii> For me, that's it! Don't you realize it!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Liar."
* Chii stomps a few times, throwing her hands up. Quite childish, but hey. 1"It's because I'm that way!"
<Chii> I was born from darkness. But because of that, I... I can...
* Chii reaches over with her hands to grab at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is grabbed, eyeing Chii
* Chii widens her eyes and snaps loudly. 1"I can see everything that much more vividly!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her back, her expression looking as if she would be holding her breath if she needed air
<Chii> I don't like myself at all! I hate it! Hate it all! I can't stand myself one bit!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't hate you.
* Chii lets go with one hand to clutch at her own chest. 1"I... I don't understand it all. But everyday, because I can't stand who I am-- who I was."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was born in a fucking test tube, accelerated to look like this before I was even a month old. Told what to do, how to do. How to kill people, Ridiariums, everything in my path. No parents. My dad fucking thought of me as a tool. My base program to kill. Destroy. My pilot honed that in me and made me a weapon that killed anything. I live with that every day. I hate myself, as well. I can't stay who I was, or I am now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But the fact is I don't hate you.
<Chii> We're nothing alike, yet at the same time... can't we at least relate?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think I don't relate to you?
* Chii lets go of Cheryl and crouches, holding her head. 1"I'm really stupid. Even when I do realize things, if I don't like them, I'll just ignore them. Everyone knew. Everyone. They all told me, too. It couldn't be the way I wanted. But to hell with them...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, and kneels there so she's even with Chii again.
<Chii> I don't care what I was told. Over and over. People can change. I can change. You can change. Everything changes. I'm capable of love. You can love. Even if it's not me... or I have to give up everything. I don't care...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl inhales air and lets it out, despite not needing it. "You have been changing. Don't you see that?"
<Chii> No one can ever see themselves...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Well, you've changed. Got it? 6* She notes, like she might smack Chii if she disagrees.
<Chii> I don't care about me. I love you. Can't you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then glances to the side. "Chii. Why do you need my love so bad? You've got others that do love you."
<Chii> I don't care if you love me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
<Chii> Ignoring that feeling altogether... it's as good as living in the darkness forever. It's too sad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know, Chii, I think I envy you sometimes. The darkness isn't that bad, sometimes, it sounds like.
* Chii shifts her eyes to look up at Cheryl, a bit confused.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't like emotions that much. Well, most of them. Being in darkness. Following orders. Not having to do what is right, just doing. I don't know. It reminds me of the old days.
* Chii hangs her head, since it seems that analogy just pushed past its meaning and onto something comfortable.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me something, Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you even know why you think you love me?
<Chii> <Chii> You're saying you do..?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm asking you why you think you love me.
<Chii> ...
* Chii peers up at Cheryl, then down. Up... then quickly down.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Chii> ... B-blonde...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
<Chii> I'm a sucker for foreigners.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "You're in love with my because I'm blonde?!"
<DeathStar> *me
* Chii snorts... then starts cracking up, wiping the water from her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, looking completely confused, then annoyed. "Are you fucking with me?"
<Chii> I-I couldn't help it..!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth and scowls.
<Chii> You're an angel. I can't help but love my angel.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I--that...that doesn't...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That doesn't tell me anything! Angel?! I'm not angel! God. I beat everyone up for fun! Including YOU
<Chii> Captivating and strong, but so naive and innocent. I'm not one to talk, but... Even then, that's part of why I can't help but remain at her side.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you calling me naive? 6* She eyes her dangerously
<Chii> Yes... but no more than I...
* Chii peers downward guiltily.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not nearly naive as you
* Chii pouts slightly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She gets serious. "I don't get it. Katrina could make you happy. She loves you. She's nice and good. Why not her?"
* Chii looks guiltily toward the floor again, then shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...?
<Chii> I should, shouldn't I?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It would... be a smart move.
<Chii> I'm greedy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Greedy? 6* She deadpans.
<Chii> I want what will make me happiest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, then chuckles, amused. She begins to laugh
<Chii> Wh-what!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Happiest. Ha haha. Me. That's funny. HA HA
* Chii looks away, scowling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thinking I equate to happiest. 6* She laughs harder
* Chii sulks and holds her knees.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pats Chii. As is comforting a delusional person
* Kuroichigo has joined #taw

* Myria has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chii blinks, frowning at Cheryl. "Are you done making fun of me?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes, keeping her head where it is. "Sorry."
<Chii> ... ... .... There is no reason to apologise for speakibg the truth
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not that. 6* She glances at Chii. "Sorry I'm not good at returning feelings."
* Chii blinks and goes to say somehing but stps
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kisses Chii's cheek, then rests her head back on her shoulder. "And if you tell anyone I'm acting like a girl right now, I'll cause you unimaginative pain."

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores into her pillow. Paladin sits in his office, going over reports of the latest mission, and Katrina sits in the messhall with some food, eating and reading
<Kit> 6Chii looms over Katrina like a stalking shadow.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Chii. 6* She says pleasantly without looking back.
<Kit> <Chii> Mmm, what'cha doing?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Reading a romance novel. 6* She bookmarks it and closes the book, setting it down, to turn to look at Chii. "And how was your night?"
<Kit> <Chii> Weird. What kind of novel?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A romance. It's a story about two overcoming odds and falling in love together by the end of the book.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. So they're kinda mushy, huh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A little bit, I guess you could say. Don't like mushy? 6* She studies Chii curiously
<Kit> 6Chii coughs. 1"Well, uh. Kind of have something to say."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What's that?
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"Well... that's..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats the seat next to her. "You can tell me."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes it reluctantly, then sits. 1"...You knew it was coming, anyway."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm? 6* She looks a bit confused now
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not saying we can't be friends." 6She waves her hands. 1"But I don't... think I can show you affection like I have been."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. 6* She nods once, her face calm and considering. "Something's changed?"
<Kit> <Chii> It's complicated... But um.
<Kit> 6Chii leans in and stares sternly at Katrina, studying her for something.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises her eyebrows a bit as Chii leans in. "Cheryl, I take it?"
<Kit> <Chii> Well duh, but...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But? 6* She smiles a bit, trying to put Chii at ease
<Kit> 6Chii scowls.
<Kit> <Chii> You're going to run away, I bet.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Chii a comforting smile, patting her on the lap. "You can tell me if you want to tell me. I promise I won't react poorly."
<Kit> <Chii> I already told you.
<Kit> 6Chii leans back, blinking.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Fair enough. 6* She nods once.
* Kulix has left #taw
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Kit> <Chii> ...Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves her hand. "Nothing, I was talking about something else." 6* She folds her hands in her lap. "I don't know when I'm going to leave, Chii, but it won't be because you're not sleeping with me."
<Kit> <Chii> Uh-huh." 6Skeptical.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Honey. I won't lie to you. I promise you that.
<Kit> <Chii> Never said you were lyin'.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But you look skepetical.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias-Out
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, sticking her chin upwards. 1"'Cause I know I'm fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're a ton of fun. I can't deny that.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks then gazes back. 1"H-Hey! What's THAT supposed to mean!?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles more. "That you're very fun."
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She gives Katrina narrowed eyes, as if trying to make sure she's not being made fun of.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just smiles warmly, not giving a hint that's she's teasing in poor taste.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hope you're very happy, Chii. 6* She takes Chii's hand with her own. "Good luck with everything, okay? And we'll always be friends."
<Kit> <Chii> See, you make it sound like it's over or something.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, one part of our relationship is over. 6* She smirks. "But we're still friends."
<Kit> 6Chii turns and slams her forehead into the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Chii's back
<DeathStar> <Katrina> May I ask you something, Chii?
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her head to the side and peers with one eye. 1"...Eh?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do you think I contribute to this team?
<Kit> <Chii> Huh?" 6She wrinkles her nose. 1"What kind of question is that?"
<Kit> <Chii> Are you making fun of me, again? I know I don't really fit in here, and all...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii. Don't be silly. You contribute a lot to this team. You're Cheryl's pilot, your skills have managed to defeat many enemies, and you've accomplished a lot of objections on the missions
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm truly asking the question about myself.
<Kit> <Chii> I've also hurt almost everyone on the team from either going insane on spiritual power or my emotions and make Cheryl less predictably useful to the military. Most people seem like they want to get rid of me all the time.
<Kit> 6Chii lifts up and leans on an elbow. 1"That's not like you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I also don't contribute much to battle or objectives.
<Kit> <Chii> Fighting isn't everything. It's all I'm good at, after all, and look how much trouble I get into.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe. But look how much you've accomplished as well. Every thing has two sides to the coin.
<Kit> <Chii> A lot of it's thanks to you, you know.
<Kit> 6Chii frowns. 1"It's not really fair, in my opinion."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Me? 6* She blinks
<Kit> <Chii> You don't say much and just keep wishing me good luck.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at her, trying to process that
<Kit> 6Chii scowls at the book Katrina has. 1"If it was one of those things, shouldn't I be more interested in you?"
<Kit> 6Chii raises a finger accusingly. 1"HONESTLY!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We can't help who we love and who want to be with, Chii. That's life. It's how it is. We could no more betray our feelings than we could ourselves. Life isn't as simple as a book. It's a struggle to get what you want and be who you want to be.
<Kit> 6Chii looks uninterested. 1"So deshou ne."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Chii, then over across the mess hall.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at her, then glances across as well.
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be looking at nothing
<Kit> 6Chii frowns and peers back at Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back at Chii and gives her a smile.
<Kit> <Chii> Hrmph, anyway.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Anyway?
<Kit> <Chii> If you decide to disappear, leave me a comm or something. I swear I'll hunt you down, otherwise!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles. "I won't leave without telling you first and leaving a comm.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Though being hunted might be fun... 6* She considers
<Kit> <Chii> Yosh! ..h-HEY!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What?
<Kit> 6Chii pouts slightly, leaning in close.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans in close as well, smiling.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches up and snags an arm around her, pushing in to kiss her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, not having seen that coming, despite her psionics, and she returns the kiss, leaning in a bit
<Kit> 6Chii pushes against her, seeming reluctant to stop.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finally stops the kiss, leaning her forehead against Chii's if she'll let her. She takes a few breaths, getting her breath back, forgetting to breathe for a moment
<Kit> <Chii> ...Mh.. ......hrmph...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets out a half-laugh. "Hrmph?"
<Kit> <Chii> She won't even let me kiss her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina strokes Chii's cheek. "Give her time."
<Kit> 6Chii looks skeptical -and- distraught. 1"Uh-huh... More time... time..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. Has she opened up to you? Let you in closer?
<Kit> <Chii> I think so.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs a bit.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then maybe you're making progress. If you want it enough, you have to keep trying, right? I don't see you settling for something you don't want.
<Kit> <Chii> Hrmph." 6She squints.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses her forehead. "Hrmph right back at you."
<Kit> <Chii> It's not like you to doubt yourself. What's got you thinking darkly all of the sudden? Just because you can't tear shit up doesn't mean you're useless on a team. Hell, Jennifer was helping out for a while and really, her hand is more useful than most of her body in a fight. That's why I was trying to teach her to use her head, instead, but she seems to just want to hit things when the heat's on.
<Kit> <Chii> There's many other points to an assemblage... even in a duo, just Freyja and I, we had our own strengths and weaknesses. I aim well, she plots well. In the end even if I was doing bad, she'd find a way to turn it around. Maybe even from a non-combatant standpoint, when things really suck around here... you can turn it around. You do that, Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks at Chii, staring at her a moment, then gives her a soft smile. "Thank you."
<Kit> <Chii> Hey, don't underestimate. I'm a genius!
<Kit> 6Chii hangs her head. 1"But only with guns, blades and my hands and feet."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wraps her arm around Chii. "That's not true. You're smarter than you gave yourself credit. And at the rate you're going, you'll be counseling me."
<Kit> <Chii> If I were like Freyja I could get Cheryl and the rest of you to drop her inhibitions somehow.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her chin thoughtfully. 1"You know..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Chii a sideways glance
<Kit> 6Chii seems to be plotting like an evil five year old.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that how you really want to approach things?
<Kit> <Chii> Huh? Oh, it's Katrina.
<Kit> 6Chii stares blankly, then rubs her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies her
<Kit> <Chii> What were we talking about, again?
<DeathStar> <katrina> You getting Freyja to drop Cheryl's inhibitions
<Kit> <Chii> Not just Cheryl's!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't you think that you should let people do things without outside help?

<DeathStar> -RESUMATION-
<Kit> <Chii> Beh, you're no fun at all, sometimes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That hurts, Chii. 6* She puts a hand to her heart
<Kit> 6Chii reaches over and flicks her in the forehead, squinting.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her.
<Kit> 6Chii holds up the novel, examining it after swiping it in the exchanges.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Interested in reading it? 6* The title says "Saphire Island", which doesn't sound much like a romantic novel
<Kit> <Chii> Why, does it suck?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *laughs* No. I've just never seen you read a .... romance book
<Kit> <Chii> I don't really read books.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> First time for everything, no?
<Kit> <Chii> That's true, I guess. But I can only read japanese, after all.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do you want me to teach you Basic?
<Kit> <Chii> Tch--no!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles softly. "Alright then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I don't think writing Cheryl love letters in Japanese will go well
<Kit> <Chii> She'd read a letter?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure she would.
<Kit> 6Chii bursts out giggling, hitting the table with her hand
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at her. "And what's so funny?"
<Kit> <Chii> As if. As soon as she figured out what it was, that is if she bothered to open it, she'd trash it or burn it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives her a wry look. "Are you so sure? Never can tell until you try."
<Kit> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina flicks her in the forehead this time.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Katrina. 1"...Is it hard?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is it hard to learn Basic? No. You just have to have some patience.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes and leans in. 1"...No one knowwws.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She studies her now
<Kit> <Chii> I mean it. I don't want people to know I'm dumber than that dog.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I won't tell anyone.
<Kit> 6Chii sits back. 1"...F-Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her. "When would you like to begin?"
<Kit> <Chii> N-Not here..!" 6Hisses.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We can do it in my room, of course.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Perhaps we'll start tomorrow. I can buy a few things to help expediate the process.
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head, staring.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, considering what all she can use to help teach. She seems lost in a strange place in her own mind
<Kit> 6Chii frowns and waves a hand idly before her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Hm? What is it, Chii?"
<Kit> <Chii> Think I'm... gonna go now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? Okay. 6* She nods once. "I'll speak with you later after I get the supplies necessary."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up and kisses Chii on the top of the head, moving off to do whatever it is Katrina plans to do, leaving Chii alone in the mess hall
<Kit> <Chii> ..O-Okay.
<Kit> 6Chii raises an eyebrow, staring after her as she leaves, them clamours away from the tables and dashes down the halls.

<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Wrinkle the fuck out of them
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tone goes snide
<DeathStar> <Chii> Never thought you'd care, haa haa
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then sneers. "I don't."
* Kuroichigo is now known as Chii
* Chii tilts her head, grinning predatorily. "Is that so?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Damn straight
<Chii> You don't care at all?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope. 6* She notes non-chalantly.
<Chii> So I could totally show up to meetings in my underwear again without any dirty looks?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do whatever you want.
<Chii> I'm pretty lazy, so I'm sure my gi would go wrinkled a while before it got washed
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders.
<Chii> It'd get even more wrinkled when we hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "You're delusional."
<Chii> But that's okay-- apparently you steal my clothes when we bond.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I do not. Like I could fit into your tiny clothes.
<Chii> So what -do- you do with them?
* Chii grins widely
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares.
* Chii snorts and starts laughing
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares more and grinds her teeth
<Chii> Oh well. Guess I shouldn't use your stuff for pajamas if your worried about wrinkles
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. My stuff? Touch my clothes and I'd kick your ass.
* Chii coughs
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....... What?
<Chii> Nothing. Where's the washer on base?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What did you do to my clothes?
<Chii> What clothes?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... ...6* She reaches out to grab Chii by her face
* Chii jerks and grasps Cheryl's wrist. "H-hey!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl attempts to yank Chii onto the bed
* Chii moves with it to avoid painful neck-wrenching
<Chii> Let go!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why? I thought you liked me touching you
<Chii> Oh haa haa haaaaa
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets Chii go finally
* Chii peers at her resentfully and rubs her cheeks
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers a bit and pinches her cheek
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You don't want me to touch you anymore?
<Chii> Pfff.
* Chii reaches over and snatches one of Cheryl's breasts with her left hand, opposite of her cheek
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. She attempts to cause pain with her own pinch now
* Chii squeezes just as much, making a face
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl howls and lets go, batting at Chii's hand
* Chii let's go as well, smirking triumphantly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bitch. 6* She rubs her breast, making a face
<Chii> Look who's talking
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers
* Chii rubs her cheek, snrking
* Kulix has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I should just chop them off like an Amazon. See you grab them then
* KulixSleep has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
<Chii> You'd actually do that?
* Chii stares down at her own
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What do you think? 6* She looks at her challeningly.
<Chii> Think you'd be lame if you did.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers more. "Maybe I'll do it just to be 'lame'."
<Chii> Lame animals are picked off easiest.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then casually forms her whip, moving it toward her own breasts
<Chii> If you don't want 'em, I'll take 'em when you're done
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Chii, pausing in her intentions
* Chii raises her hands and points inward toward her face, smirking. "Not that I'm flat-chested, but every asian could use more."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're flat-chested. 6* She notes flatly.
<Chii> Am not!!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are too.
* Chii leans in, snarling. "I'm at least a large B, you bitch!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> For 'Barely nothing'?
<Chii> Just 'cause you were blessed by the goddess of fertility!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sneers. "I'm quite sure I was genetically manipulated to have breasts these size, thank you. Cran was no goddess."
<Chii> Obviously favored size over functionality! Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She gets off the bed, turning the whip off.
* Chii peers over at her bitterly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks rather bitter herself right now. She steps into the bathroom and splashes water on her face
<Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..
* Chii tugs at her collar and pers at her chest
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl returns and eyes Chii. "Looking for something?"
<Chii> Low. Really low!
* Chii pouts, crossing her arms
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches out and feels around Chii's chest. "Can't feel anything myself."
* Chii lunges forward and grabs-- as well as chomping at Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is chomped and she lets out a strangled noise, falling backwards. "You crazy bitch1"
<Chii> Rgh!!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face and tries to bop Chii
* Chii jerks back, releasing, but hunched over her having fell atop, her tail lashing and giving an annoyed aura
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her chest. "Jesus. Ow ow ow."
<Chii> Harumph!!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth, peering up at Chii. "You going to sit there on me or are you going to move, you crazy fox?"
<Chii> I kinda like it from here.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl props up her upper half with her elbows, eyeing Chii.
* Chii plants her face in Cheryl's rising chest, then drapes her arms over her shoulders, relaxing atop her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches out, trying to snag the tail
* Chii coos happily while her tail is snagtched. She shifts and gazes up at Cheryl dreamily
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares back, then yanks
* Chii squeals and jerks against Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh heh heh
<Chii> Wh-what!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What can I say. I get sadistic fun pulling this thing
* Chii pouts, garnering tears

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sets up teaching aids in her room. Because she's insane.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works out against a punching bag
<Kit> 6Chii passes by Cheryl's room on the way down the hall, narrowing her eyes at it and pausing. She turns away and hrmphs, lashing her tail defiantly-- since Cheryl's not there to yank on it, then continues on, rapping on Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come on in.
<Kit> 6Chii peers around, then walks in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over at Chii, giving her a smile. "Hi, Chii." 6* She appears to have set up a board with various letters in the alphabet, and has writing pamplets and books scattered about
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of his room, his hair damp, wearing a sleeveless shirt and some gym shorts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes her fists into the punching bag over and over, wearing a tank top and shorts. Her black lines are clearly visible with little clothing on
<Kit> 6Chii gazes across the room and stares at the various implements, squinting, then looks to Katrina. 1"...You're really into this, aren't you?"
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not going to get homework, am I?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A little.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Chii.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I even bought a sexy teacher outfit. 6* She smiles more devilishly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks down the hallway, his black lines visible. He moves into the messhall
<Kit> <Chii> I hate homewo--- eh..? Well, it might be okay...
<Kit> 6Chii then doubletakes and shakes her head. 1"Wait, what!?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What's wrong, Chii? 6* She looks innocent
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what's with that? You're going to torture me?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you saying it's torture to look at me in sexy outfits? 6* She peers at her, raising an eyebrow
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes. 1"...Oh you're ..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? 6* She looks at her, feining hut
<DeathStar> *hurt
<Kit> <Chii> So devious. Jeez.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms and peers at the board. 1"...Where do we begin?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. Learning the alphabet for one thing. 6* She pats the bed.
<Kit> 6Chii gazes off, then shakes her head and moves to the bed and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses in her punching, mentally checking up on Chii, as if locating her
<Kit> 6Chii glances at the board, staring at corresponding letters and symbols, then shrugs before jerking her head slightly. 1"Hmm.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ready to begin?
* Kit crosses her arms again and peers upward. 1<Sorry, I can't take your call right now-- leave a pissy remark and a complain and I'll get back to you, ja ne!>
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, sure.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She returns to hitting the bag
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to go over each letter, sounding it out for Chii, and making her repeat it back to her.
<Kulix> *Xril paces the halls, having memorized most of the facility he watches Cheryl as she trains, stopping outside of the gym, he stands in the hall
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl beats the crap out of the punching bag, going for brute force over grace.
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, this sucks. It's not nearly as graceful.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't make me make you write each letter 50 times.
<Kulix> <Xril> Watch your footing *He remarks* Your off balance by a few kilograms.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the messhall, an apple in his mouth and a bottle of water in his hand. He moves back down the hallway again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. I'm not. 6* She replies casually, bringing her knee up into the bag.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer comes running down the hallway towards teh training room, she looks around, swearing she can hear the booming voice of a Tsiv, when she bumps right into him.
<Kulix> *Xril stands unwavering like a brick wall. He turns his head from Cheryl, his attuned hearing still paying attention to the reverberating strikes of the bag. Stil analyzing Cheryl's progress he speaks to Jennifer " Watch were your going, child. "
<Seraphna> * Jennifer falls on her rear end and blinks, slowly staring up at the Tsiv, mouth dropping as she slowly points at him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the two in his way and tosses the apple between the doorway top and Xril's head. He shifts his boddy around the tsiv and the doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, bringing her elbows into the bag.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches up and grabs his apple, taking another bite as he moves over to a bag.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Y-You're a... a..."
<Kulix> *He observes her as she sits on the ground. he glances at Dias as he enters, then returns his gaze to Jennifer " Where are you going? "
<Kulix> <Xril> Tsivrixsh? So it would seem. *he continues watching Cheryl
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "D-Dias! It's a Tsiv!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to eye the Tsiv. 1"That's what it is. I thought Marcus was dating from the genetic failure gene pool."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Chii tune out, so she sets a sheet out. "Work on making the letters."
<Kulix> <Xril> Don't fear me, child. I am an ally to you and your people. I am simply here to observe your friend's progress.
<Kit> <Chii> Damn it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"You hear that Cheryl? He's checking you out."
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the sheet and takes up a pen. She idly writes 'zu ru' over and over.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer pulls herself up, looking at him, she gently pokes Xril. "Serious? This isn't some Scar joke?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii! 6* She takes a ruler, hitting her softly on the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders, apparantly not caring.
<Kit> <Chii> Ow!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The Basic letters! From A to Z.
<Kulix> *Xril eyes Jenifer as she pokes him " Stop that. "
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops infront of the bag and steps in, head butting it
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up at him and gulps. "Definately not him, he'd have made a pervy joke."
<DeathStar> 6* Another Jennifer stands next to Jen. "Oh, Tsivrixsh boy, take me."
<Kulix> *Xril shakes his head, looking at Scar " Give it a rest, shapeshifter. "
<Kit> 6Chii glares, then begins writing. A. B. C. ...yawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her legs, watching Chii.
<DeathStar> <Jennifer?> I'll take a rest with you
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl resumes beating her bag up
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits for it to swing back then slams his left forearm into it. He spins and slams the back of his left elbow into it.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at her double and gives her a Warren frown.
<DeathStar> <Jennifer> Yeah. Not intimidated.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer holds up her fake hand like a claw for some reason.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waits for Chii to finish, then she begins to teach her how to write and read words, using simple words and combining them for her
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer? yawns and walks off
<Kit> <Chii> I'm so bringing doujins to translate for you.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer pouts and looks over at Xril suspiciously.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? 6* She smiles devilishly. "I'll have you act out whatever you bring to translate. To help the learning process."
<Kulix> *Xril leaves them in the hall. He continues into the gym " Your power and speed are impressive, but your technique is flawed. You both continue striking with the wide surfaces of your hands, feet, and limbs. " he says, stopping infront of a bag, facing both Dias and Cheryl
<Kulix> " To inflict maximum damage and penetrate your opponent's armor, you must apply the streangth of your bodies over less surface area, like a bullet. " he pivots on a heel, driving his outstreatched fingers into the leather, ripping it as he drives his hand out of the other side.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Xril then Cheryl, giving her that look.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I desired to do that, I would. But it's stupid and pointless.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks backwards. 1'Touche."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seeing as you just cost the team money.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm strict. 6* She notes.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches quietly from the door, glaring slightly at Xril.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're pretty full of yourself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps away from the bags, stretching her body, apparantly unphased by Xril's words or demonstration
<Kulix> *Xril nods to Cheryl, pulling his arm out of the bag " Consider it money well spent." he starts for the exit, glancing at Jennifer unwaveringly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know what I hate? People who don't put their money where their mouth is.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have to agree with you there Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, eyeing Xril's back. "Why don't you test my technique?"
* Kit coughs then shakes her head again. 1"Fine."
<Kulix> *He stops at the door " What about the team's precious money? "
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her. "Well, just keep working on the basics for now, and we'll continue with more advanced word forming."
<Kit> <Chii> A, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I meant on me. And trust me. You won't be causing any medical bills for me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I thought Tsiv were proud of there strength. Apparently this one's the coward of the race.
<Kulix> *He turns, eyeing them both " If you want to test your skills, then come at me. " he says calmly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. Come at me. You're the one who says my technique is flawed. Hit me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I'm very confident in my skills. I did take down a giant Ridarium death machine.
<Kit> 6Chii recites rather stereotypical sentences.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, and closes the book on Chii. "Okay, fine, more tomorrow."
<Kulix> *Xril chuckles at Cheryl " You won't prevoke me, girl. Besides, what reason do I have to hit you? YOUR the one who desires this match. Why dont you just keep wasting your breath and telling me how much of a coward I am? Your words are weightless, and damaging my allies would be tactically disadvantageous. "
<Kit> 6Chii spreads her arms. 1"Me ruv ruu rong time?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Very well. 6* She waves her hand, having not called him a coward. She moves to a new bag and begins to hit it
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Pardon me?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A Tsiv without pride. Huh, who'd of that I'd see the day.
<Kulix> *Xril grins " Strong will. " he turns, exiting the Gym, looking about for Jen
<Kit> 6Chii shakes her head and giggles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues her work out, looking unphased by the events, as if it's beneath her to care.
<Seraphna> * Jen is standing there in the hall, still eyeing him warily.
<Kulix> <Xril> Why do you wear such an odd expression, girl? *he asks down at her
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "You're a Tsiv."
* Kulix has left #taw
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Kulix> <Xril> And this bothers you?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hrmpfs, dissapointed he didn't get into a fight. He turns and goes back to working out on the bag
<Kulix> <Xril> Get used to it.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer glares at him.
<Kulix> *He stares back coldly
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "How do I know you're not just some ploy sent in by the Dark Ones."
<Kulix> <Xril> You dont.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Why'd they let you just walk about like this?"
<Kulix> <Xril> Because one does not keep their allies in shackles. Would you like me to answere anymore obvious questions?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *glares at him a moment and crosses her arms, looking up, and up at his face* "What makes you so different from the other Tsiv?"
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Kulix> <Xril> I am here, in a human facility, free, on good terms.
<Kulix> <Xril> Does that answere you qestion, little human?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "No, it just tells me you're here. I don't know why."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer's eyebrow twitches at being called "little"
<Kulix> <Xril> I am here because I chose to be. I helped your team escape a warzone, and this is my reward.
<Kulix> *He turns, beggining to head down the hall
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "You... helped them escape?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Who? How?"

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eats in the mess hall after working out in the gym
* Sally`Wolf is now known as Seraphna
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<Seraphna> * Sally lumbers into the mess hall, looking worn out as she goes to get herself some food.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Sal, then eats more bread
<Seraphna> * Sally grabs some food and takes a seat across from Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... ... Yo.
<Seraphna> Sally> "Yo."
<Seraphna> * Sally takes a bite of her sandwich. "Broke a few too many bones in that last encounter..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> See a doctor.
<Seraphna> Sally> "I did, that's why I can walk."
<Kit> 6Chii leans over Cheryl's soldier, squinting at Sally. 1"Truce can work miracles when he isn't being a pissy little brat."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up and over her shoulder at Chii
<Seraphna> Sally> "Can't he just?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "He seems fine to me."
<Seraphna> Sally> "Eh, he can be a bit on teh crabby side, but I wouldn't call him a brat."
<Kit> <Chii> He's totally a brat.
<Kit> <Chii> Not even humbled a bit after losing that healing touch, either.
<Seraphna> Sally> "A good doctor always feels invulnerable."
<Seraphna> Sally> "I wouldn't want someone operating on me if he didn't have confidence."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes the toast, eyeing the two
<Kit> <Chii> Feeling invulnerable ain't confidence.
<Seraphna> * Sally bites her sandwich and eyes Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias? pokes his head in. "Just look at Chii! Invulerable and no confidence!"
<DeathStar> 6* Dias? pokesh is head back out
<Seraphna> * Sally giggles a little and grins after the fleeing Dias?
<Kit> 6Chii moves around and sits beside Cheryl, putting down another quiche, sticking a fork in it.
<Kit> <Chii> Tch, dumbass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the quiche.
<Seraphna> Sally> "I think he's trying to show affection."
<Kit> <Chii> I could do without it.
<Seraphna> Sally> "Meh." *she drinks down a can of soda*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eats a piece of bacon
<Kit> 6Chii suddenly leans over and hugs Cheryl, groping her with her hands. 1"I have plenty of affection anyway from a certain amazon with genetically-augmented homocide buttons."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks as she's groped, her face getting a bit red. "W-What the fuck are you doing!?"
<Seraphna> * Sally stares, droping her sandwich.
<Kit> <Chii> Taking a shortcut to heaven by means of the devil, heheh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches, and she brings her fist down at Chii's head
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll show you genetically-augmented homocidal buttons!
<Seraphna> Sally> "So you two..."
<Kit> 6Chii lets go of Cheryl to dodge, once hand reaching over to grab her quiche, then grasps the table with her other hand and leaps clear over the table to Sally's side.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Us two...what? 6* She eyes Sally slowly, daring her to finish
<Kit> 6Chii slides around Sally to the other side, coming to a halt. 1"Oh, we're mero-mero, ahaha!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell does mero-mero mean?!
<Seraphna> Sally> "Really?"
<Kit> <Chii> You already forgot meromero? Haa!
<Seraphna> * Sally stares more, "Coulda sworn you were... well..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me.
<Seraphna> Sally> "Ah I see..."
<Kit> 6Chii squints like the fox, grinning widely. 1"Go on, tell her, Sally."
<Seraphna> * Sally eyes her, "You're the one doing the groping."
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Sally, a bite of quiche in her mouth as she eats-- clearly occupied.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to fume angrily.
<Seraphna> Sally> "I believe the fox is trying to make it look like you two are lovers. I was pretty sure Cheryl was straight though."
<Seraphna> * Sally looks at Chii still.
<Kit> <Chii> She is.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them both silent, her expression eerily calm now
<Kit> 6Chii leans in closely to Sally, still grinning. 1"Want me to show you a secret?"
<Seraphna> Sally> "Somehow I'm a bit worried at the idea of one of your secrets."
<Kit> <Chii> You couldn't handle the truth.
<Seraphna> Sally> "What's there to handle? You act like I really care what the two of you do."
<Kit> 6Chii leans back slightly. 1"You're boring. Don't you do anything besides shoot stuff and act arrogant?"
<Kit> <Chii> Surely you have some sort of hobby.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up and steps out of the mess hall
<Seraphna> Sally> "I have wild sex with a shapeshifter."
<Seraphna> Sally> "Does that count?"
<Kit> 6Chii quirks slightly at that specific sort of encounter and leaves expediously.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down the hall.
<Seraphna> * Sally sits back, satisfied, and munches on her sandwich. "Worked better then I hoped."
<Kit> 6Chii heads the opposite way of Cheryl, pausing only to jab her fork into the wall and drop the quiche.
<Seraphna> * Sally tosses away her garbage and walks out, looking for something to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into her room to do some things
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin reads a newspaper in his office, relaxing
<Kit> 6Dawn stares at Paladin, standing there silently.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up, wondering how Dawn got in without him noticing the door opening.
<Kit> 6Dawn holds his hands out and gestures. 1"Fiore?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No information on Fiore, no.
* Dias-ConsumingFleshofAnimals is now known as SPoC
<Kit> 6His head hangs slightly, then he moves over and sets one of the datapads down, inquiring about the resources and such related to recreating the remote-able combat craft.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer arrives on base, in her uniform, books in tow.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at it. "Why would you need this? All our shuttle craft are remote-able."
<Kit> 6Dawn frowns. The shuttles aren't nearly as durable or refittable.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stares back. Clearly he doesn't think it's the case
<Seraphna> * Jennifer walk down the halls to her room, humming a little.
<Kit> 6Dawn hangs his head a bit, then shakes it, typing out. [So I have a bit of a thing for that antique, but it's far more dependable in ways you wouldn't think, even if its personnel carrying capabilities are lower than a shuttle. It's a combat craft, and with my work, has become a useful tool in surveilance and reconaissance for long-range ventures.]
<Kit> 6Dawn glances away, failing to mention that it's also something to do since Fiore seems to have not only escaped, but dropped off the planet's surface and is keeping quiet.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'll show the designs to my superiors at the next meeting I have with them.
<Kit> [If it's an issue of funds, I can use my own, but the materials and acquisition are trickier.]
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It's something only my superiors can sign off on, Dawn.
<Kit> 6Dawn then nods his head, as if already knowing that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps onto base, wearing her jacket and normal clothing, drinking beer
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin makes a copy of the information to show.
<Kit> 6Chii stares at Cheryl, sitting in the hall-- holding a romance novel.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the novel, then begins to laugh
<Kit> 6Dawn bows pollitely, then sets the pad back on his belt and exits the office.
<Kit> 6Chii stares longer, then peers at the book and jerks. 1"What!?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ha ha ha. Romance novel. 6* She keeps laughing, slapping her thigh
<SPoC> 6Dias snoozes, sleeping awkwardly on the back of of couch in the rec room.
<Kit> <Chii> This book has ten times the romance you do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shyeah. I give you that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to move on.
<DeathStar> 6* BIlly hangs upside down from the ceiling, so she swings her face near Dawn's. "Hi, Mute Man Due to Psychological Trauma."
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, staring at Billy.
<Kit> <Chii> Bet you couldn't read this book.
<DeathStar> <Billy> If you can say, "Hello", I'll give you a cookie. Come on. Hel-Lo."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, turning back to face Chii. "I bet you I wouldn't read that type of book even if I was tortured."
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, you couldn't finish it without blushing.
<Kit> 6Chii grins. 1"Among other things."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck does that mean? You planning on fingering yourself as you read that shit?
<Kit> 6Chii reels slightly, then peers at Chii. 1"So you do."
<Kit> NRP: Cheryl >_>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wouldn't you like to know?
<Kit> <Chii> Duh.
<Kit> 6Dawn continues to stare at Billy. What a strange child.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, you aren't going to find out!
<Kit> <Chii> I won't?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves the cookie. "You can do it. That's a good boy."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not a chance in hell
<Kit> 6Chii ponders on that, studying Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She glares back
<Kit> <Chii> If I weren't so traumatized by the memory, I'd traumatize you with it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? What memory?
<Kit> <Chii> The one that bitch made me remember.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Which is?
<Kit> 6Chii bristles slightly, then calms. She seems to concentrate for a moment, then briefly sends a flicker of an image of Cheryl from someone else's perspective who's pinned on her bed. Then gazes at the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, glancing away.
<Kit> 6Chii pulls down an eyelid and sticks her tongue out at Cheryl. 1"...S-so there."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever. 6* Her tone and mood is darker, probably reflecting on something else. Like the Scars. She turns and moves on, tossing the empty bottle of beer to the side and grabbing a new one from her jacket
<Kit> 6Chii uncertainly starts to panic, then tilts her head as she finds something to focus on. She sends her perspective over the bond-- a live feed of Cheryl's rear walking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns around slowly to eye Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, whistling innocently.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls darkly.
<Kit> <Chii> It has life-like texture.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck?! What the hell does that mean?
<Kit> 6Chii lifts her hands, wiggling her fingers. 1"I would know."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes her way to Dias, planting whip cream on one hand, then puts his foot into warm water.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to approach Chii, slowly. "Oh really."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy then makes a feather rub Dias' nose
<Kit> 6Chii shuffles back into the corner, sneering. 1"What're you going to do? I'm an asian girl, right? Nothing to take revenge on."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer eventually finds her way into her room, changing out of her uniform and laying out some casual clothes, most of hers consisting of training clothes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up wclosely now that she's trapped herself in the corner, kneeling, leaning closer to her, the smell of alcohol on her breath as she gets closer to Chii's face. "Revenge? Why would I want revenge?"
<Kit> <Chii> U-uh... ... ..uh.. eh..!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans in closer to Chii's lips. "What's wrong? I thought you knew what it was like to touch me and all that."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer finally puts something together and sits on her bed, pulling out Warren's guitar.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls nervously. 1"I... I do!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh? Is that so? 6* She says softly, a seductive tone in her voice.
<Kit> 6Chii gulps, then frowns. 1"A-Are you challenging me?!"
<SPoC> 6Dias snorts and swats his hand around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's to challenge?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy keeps doing it, trying to get Dias to make contact with his face
<SPoC> 6Dias just respond by shifting, which causes him to fall off the back of the couch and onto the floor with a loud thud
<DeathStar> 6* The water splashes all over Dias
<SPoC> 6Dias slowly opens his eyes, then looks at his hand then down at his feet.
<Kit> 6Chii bites her lip, then reaches up and gropes Cheryl. That usually gets her to back off.
<Kit> 6Dawn heads for the conference room and sits, resuming his almost daily task of perusing the Roma footage.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Feel like you remember? If not I could get the shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hides by pulling up a sheet of cloth that looks like the wall paint
<Kit> 6Chii jerks and winces, opting to gather her knees up into her arms instead, dropping the book from her other hand and wincing.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances around and reaches over, wiping the whip cream onto the sheet of cloth. He eyes his clothes and strips down to his boxers.
<DeathStar> 6* The cloth is whipped.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her stoic faced. "What's wrong? Done groping me already? I thought we could make out now."
<Kit> 6Chii buries her face. 1"Go away, you drunkard."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And here you were so flippant about it a moment ago. 6* She stands up and begins to move away.
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs his wet clothes and tosses them over his shoulder. He steps out of the rec room and starts walking down the hall to his room
<Kit> 6Chii gets up and starts for the exit door she's next to. 1"It hurts more from certain people."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whirls around. "Yeah?! Well at least I wasn't willingly having sex with shapeshifters. Jesus, how little do you fucking know me?"
<Kit> 6Chii slams the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams her fist into the wall, thriving off the pain
<DeathStar> 6* She turns and slides down the wall, holding her hand in her lap.
<SPoC> 6Dias walks by Cheryl, wearing only his boxers, he glances at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at the lower wall.
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses mid-step and follows her gaze then back at her.
